After Florian Plettenberg reported on Sunday night (by way of x) that the Reds, Manchester United and Chelsea are all within the race for the Eintracht Frankfurt striker, the Italian switch guru subsequently claimed that the 22-year-old is ‘contemplating all choices’ and has but to point a choice for any of that trio.
Romano: Liverpool sustaining contact in Ekitike switch race

Ekitike appears a extra attainable goal than Alexander Isak
With Plettenberg reporting that Man United have now contacted Ekitike’s brokers and registered ‘concrete curiosity’ within the participant, it may very well be simply as effectively that the Anfield hierarchy have already achieved likewise and haven’t relented of their pursuit of the 22-year-old.
If Liverpool do promote Nunez this summer season, it’d be advisable to cowl their bases at centre-forward by bringing in a alternative earlier than the tip of August. Diogo Jota’s capacity isn’t unsure, however we’ve seen all through his time with us that sadly he can’t be trusted to remain match for a complete season.
Though Lewis Steele argued that the Eintracht Frankfurt man isn’t in the identical elite bracket as Alexander Isak, the Frenchman would nearly actually be extra reasonably priced than the Newcastle striker, which is very pertinent in a switch window by which the Reds have already dedicated to spending £116m on Florian Wirtz.
The continued contact with Ekitike’s brokers would recommend that FSG are certainly getting ready to promote our present quantity 9 and wish to be able to pounce on the France under-21 star if there’s a spot within the squad for a beginning centre-forward.
Fingers crossed that Liverpool received’t relent of their pursuit of the 22-year-old, notably with two of our largest rivals additionally within the hunt for him.
