Ekitike, who played youth football for Cormontreuil FC before making the move to Reims, where he made his senior debut in the year 2020. He was loaned out to Vejle Boldklub in 2021 and to PSG in 2022 before he made the permanent switch to the French Capital City side in 2023.

He was sent on loan to Frankfurt in the year 2024 before the Bundesliga club opted to make the deal a permanent one. He enjoyed a fabulous time in Germany before the Reds came knocking.

Eintracht sporting director Markus Krosche wished the Frenchman the very best on his footballing future with the fabled Reds in England.

“Hugo has improved tremendously in his 18 months with us and has been a real asset to our team and the club as a whole on and off the pitch," Krosche said.

“We’re delighted he can now take the next step – a step he has earned through his performances with us," he added.

Busy Liverpool

Liverpool have been remarkably active in the ongoing transfer window to strengthen their lineup for the upcoming season with the signings of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, and Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Arne Slot and his team shattered the British transfer record by bringing in German star Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for a staggering £135m, after completing the signing of Frimpong from the same club a couple of weeks earlier in their bid to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has moved to Real Madrid.

Liverpool also acquired Armin Pecsi from Puskas Akademia and Freddie Woodman on a free transfer from Preston North End.

Real Madrid went trophyless in Carlo Ancelotti’s final season as the manager of Los Blancos and will aim to rectify that under new boss Xabi Alonso in his debut season at the Capital City club.
