Liverpool to repeat Hugo Ekitike trick in deal for Luis Suarez 2. 0 Liverpool will require forwards in the upcoming transfer window. Alexander Isak was the big-money arrival last summer - coming on board from Newcastle for £125m.
Hugo Ekitike also signed for the Premier League champions - with Richard Hughes paying £69m to Eintracht Frankfurt for the Frenchman’s services. Newcastle were left frustrated by the Ekitike deal as they thought they had secured a conversation at least with the former Paris Saint-Germain player before he opted for Anfield. But Isak has endured a severely injury-hit campaign - including a broken leg.
And he will be the only senior, fit option available to Arne Slot by the time next season rolls around. Ekitike, 23, is out for up to a year due to a ruptured achilles - leaving the Merseysiders well short of cover and competition for 2026/27. Accordingly it’s been suggested that the Anfield club will move for a new frontman in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool want Luis Suarez 2. 0 Luis Suarez, 28, is among the names under consideration by Hughes and Liverpool’s recruitment team according to a new report in Sports Boom. The Colombian has enjoyed a breakout campaign with Sporting CP - who may well take the opportunity to cash in on their biggest asset during the off-season.
