Liverpool officially announced! Signed with the 23-year-old French center for 6 years, with a record transfer fee of 95 million euros

On July 24, Premier League champion Liverpool Club officially announced that it had officially signed 23-year-old French striker Ekitic. Ekitic has successfully completed the physical examination and the two sides will sign a contract for 6 years until June 2031. After the official signing, Ekitic will fly to Hong Kong, China later this week to compete in the Asian preseason with his new teammates.

According to famous reporter Romano, Ekitic's total transfer fee is 95 million euros, with a specific structure of 80 million fixed + 10 million floating, and there are also clauses that are difficult to achieve by 5 million. Ekitic also became the second highest signing in Liverpool in history after Wilz. Ekitic's joining will also effectively fill the vacancy of Liverpool in the center position after Jota died in a car accident this summer.

Ekitic, born on June 20, 2002, just turned 23 years old. He came from the Ligue 1 Reims youth training. In the summer of 2022, Ekitic landed in Paris on loan. The following year, Paris bought him out for nearly 30 million euros.

In the winter window of 2024, Ekitic joined Frankfurt on loan. After the end of the season, Frankfurt paid 16.5 million euros to buy out. Last season, Ekitic played 48 games for Frankfurt in various competitions, contributing 22 goals and 12 assists. Currently, his latest net worth in the German "Transfer Market" is 75 million euros.

Ekitic also became Liverpool's seventh signing in the summer window. Liverpool had signed six new players, Mamaldashvili, Flynnpon, Wilz, Korkets, Page and Woodman.
