Up the tree! Romano reveals that Liverpool starts negotiations on introducing Ekitic

According to the latest news from Romano, Liverpool has started negotiations to introduce Ekitic and is discussing the possibility of adding Ekitic to the team. However, the specific process first depends on Nunez's stay and where he is now negotiating with Naples. No matter what, go up the tree first!

This summer is crazy for Liverpool. In June, Liverpool signed five players including Flynnon, Page, Wilz, Kolkz and Woodman, with a total spending of more than 200 million euros in the transfer market, becoming the craziest team this summer. Among them, Wiltz alone spent 136 million euros on Liverpool, setting a new record in Premier League history.

However, even so crazy, Liverpool's signings have not stopped, especially centers and central defenders. In the center position, Liverpool's regular center originally belonged to Nunez, but after three years of joining, Nunez still failed to fully prove himself. His data of 40 goals and 26 assists in 143 games cannot convince the public. In addition, his ability to seize opportunities is too poor, Liverpool has lost patience with him.

At present, Nunes is negotiating with Naples. The Naples coach is very optimistic about Nunes, and the possibility of a deal is rising. If Nunes leaves the team, Liverpool will almost certainly introduce a new center. It was previously reported that Liverpool has three major goals, namely Isaac, Osmain and Ekitic. Among them, Isaac is the most expensive and difficult. Osmeen's personal requirements are too high, and Ekitic is the most likely one.

Ekitic is only 23 years old. He played in 48 games for Frankfurt in the 2024-25 season and contributed 22 goals and 12 assists. His personal value soared from 20 million euros to 75 million euros in one year. As a big center with a height of 1.90 meters, Ekitic's heading ability is no problem, and what's even more rare is that his feet are good. The only problem is that he only played good goals for one season.

Since Frankfurt insists on asking for a price of 100 million euros, it is also difficult for Liverpool to introduce Ekitic. As Romano said, this is not a deal that can be reached today or tomorrow, we need more patience. For Liverpool, if you spend 100 million euros, there should be many options!
