⚽ Liverpool Eye Hugo Ekitiké as Núñez Replacement
Liverpool lead the interest in Hugo Ekitiké of Eintracht Frankfurt, though the striker is valued at a significant €100 million price tag (Bavarian Football Works). With Ekitiké looking to make a Premier League switch, Liverpool's interest represents serious intent to bolster their frontline.
