Liverpool to shock rivals by clinching deal to sign £80m striker

Liverpool are almost certain to sign a new number 9 this summer as part of Arne Slot’s plans to reconfigure the attack for next season. The club have been looking at several alternatives, but they are now turning their focus towards clinching a deal for a top young striker this summer.

Alexander Isak is the striker Liverpool want in the next window. However, Newcastle are reluctant to sell him, and a potential return to the Championship is set to further strengthen their resolve to keep him.

Darwin Nunez is almost certain to move on from Liverpool in the summer transfer window, and his representatives have been told to find a new club.

Liverpool are also considering signing a top striker on a free transfer, but the club are aware that big money would have to be spent if they want to bring in one of the top young forwards of world football.

The Reds turn their attention to signing an £80m striker

Hugo Ekitike has been linked with a move to the Premier League this season, and Liverpool are among the clubs that are considering signing him.

However, according to the Daily Telegraph, Liverpool are turning their attention more towards the Eintracht Frankfurt striker as we draw closer to the end of the season.

Isak is still their top target, but Liverpool now admit that the chances of snaring him away from Newcastle this summer are slim at this stage.

Ekitike has emerged as a viable option for the Reds, who are keen to bring in someone early in the summer to help adapt to Slot’s style better ahead of the new season.

Eintracht Frankfurt are expected to demand a fee in the region of £80m, and there is uncertainty whether the Reds would be willing to spend such big sums on a forward who is untested in English football.
