July 21, according to TA reporter David Ornstein, Liverpool has reached an agreement with Frankfurt on Ekitic's transfer.
sources said they would pay an initial transfer fee of £69 million plus a potential surcharge of up to £10 million.
After Ekitic completed his physical examination, the plan is that he will fly to Hong Kong, China to meet with the Liverpool first team. He will sign a six-year contract with Liverpool.
The two clubs reached an outline of the agreement on Saturday, and personal terms are not expected to be a problem, as a transfer to Liverpool has been Ekitic's first choice.
Newcastle cooled down after his previous offer for Ekitic's 75 million euros, and Newcastle considered using Brentford striker Visa as an alternative target.
Liverpool had previously tried to sign Isaac from Newcastle, expressing its willingness to pay about 120 million pounds.
Slott's side has been strengthened this summer by signing Wilz, Flynnon and Kolkz, but Liverpool has prioritized signing a striker.
Liverpool is open to Nunez's offer, and Louis Diaz has also informed the club that he hopes to leave.
Ekitic scored 22 goals and sent 12 assists for Frankfurt in the 2024-25 season, his first full season for the team since joining Paris on loan in January 2024. He joined for a permanent franchise last summer with a transfer fee of 17.5 million euros. His outstanding performance made him the Bundesliga All-Squad.
Ekitic has played for the French U21 national team five times, but has not yet played for the adult national team.
