The red storm continues! Spend 300 million euros this summer, Liverpool is proud and breaks the team history transfer record

French striker Ekitic successfully put on the Liverpool team's jersey. In order to get the 23-year-old striker, Liverpool spent 95 million euros in transfer fees. It is reported that the two sides will sign a contract for 6 years.

The French striker represented Frankfurt in 48 games in various competitions last season, scoring 22 goals and 12 assists, directly participating in 46% of the team's goals. Ekitic's technical characteristics are eye-catching. As a high-center forward, the success rate of high-altitude top-square 78%. He also has a very strong sprint speed, up to 34.2km/h. It can not only serve as a fulcrum center but also help the side. These characteristics are perfectly in line with Liverpool's rapid counterattack system. Ekitic's career is full of drama. When he was still playing in Paris Grand Prix two years ago, the French striker was once criticized as a "parallel product". Last summer, Frankfurt bought him out for only 16.5 million euros. Unexpectedly, his value soared to 95 million euros a year later. After introducing Ekitic with a lot of money, Liverpool became the first team in the transfer market this summer to spend more than 300 million euros, which is full of heroism. Previously, the defending Premier League champions introduced the 22-year-old German genius attacker Werz (116.5 million pounds) to become the new benchmark in Liverpool's history, including the 21-year-old Hungarian left-wing Flynnon (40 million pounds), the 24-year-old Dutch wide-side point Flynnon (29.5 million pounds), the new goalkeeper Mamadashvili (29 million pounds), and the backcourt Peppa (1.5 million pounds). Liverpool's lineup can only be described as strong.

Especially this summer, the introduction of Werz and Ekitic has successively broken Liverpool's transfer record in history. The most expensive transfer in Liverpool's team history was Nunez's 85 million euros, while the arrival of Wirtz increased this number to 125 million euros. Now Ekitic will surpass Nunez's 95 million euros. Wirtz's transfer fee ranks sixth most expensive in world transfer history, while Ekitic's transfer fee 95 million euros will also rank 20th.

spent 300 million euros this summer, and Slot is further building the Red Army according to his plan. Ekitic will form a "one high and one fast" dual core with Salah, thereby liberating Garkepo, Sobosloy and others to return to the midfield. This adjustment will completely activate Liverpool's frontcourt creativity. What's more, Liverpool will also have Wilz's creativity, Flynnon's wide impact, Kokz's defensive resilience, and Ekitic's finishing ability to form a nearly perfect puzzle.

With Ekitic joining, Liverpool's total investment of more than 300 million euros this summer, which is an astonishing number in football history. Judging from the current situation, Liverpool's pace of signing has not stopped. In the second summer transfer window after Slot took over the team, Fenway Group showed a rare investment. When Liverpool frantically signs and buyers, it can be said that it directly raised the threshold for the Premier League championship in the new season. One thing is certain, that is, as the defending Premier League champion, Liverpool will continue to storm in the new season!
