"Liverpool" is considered the main contender to buy forward Ugo Ekitike from Frankfurt's "Eintracht" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The 23-year-old player has also attracted interest from Premier League clubs such as "Chelsea," "Manchester United," and other major clubs. According to internal sources, particularly journalist Nicolo Schira, the main battle for the French player is currently ongoing at "Liverpool" club.

In turn, the forward has also expressed his willingness to move and is ready to sign a contract aimed at 2030. Negotiations with the club leaders are still ongoing.
