Echo: Liverpool and Frankfurt negotiate over £70m finalization of Ekitic

According to the British media Liverpool Echo, after Newcastle failed to sign Ekitic, Liverpool became the absolute favorite to sign players and the first choice for the players themselves. The two sides are currently negotiating a deal worth more than 70 million pounds with Frankfurt.

Despite rumors that this is a strategy or smokescreen that forced Isaac to push away from Newcastle, Liverpool made a deeper progress on the Ekitic trade, suggesting that it is unlikely. Ekitic is the player the Reds want.

Authentic, although Ekitic has not yet been selected for the French national team, he scored a hat-trick in a friendly match against England U21 in March this year. His value has risen sharply since the transfer to Frankfurt.

Ekitic is a key figure in Frankfurt's quarter-finals. He also scored goals in the match when the team was eliminated by Tottenham and helped the team qualify for the Champions League for only the second time.

Some Liverpool fans had worried that at the end of last season, the actual goals were lower than expected goals (xG) in the top five European leagues. Ekitic eventually ranked among the top five in the Bundesliga scorer list and the top eight in assists list, and was the player with the most attempts to shoot. Ekitic and Werz are both one of the players who hit the goal frame the most.

Wilz's high-priced franchise earlier in the summer window will share the pressure after Ekitic's high-priced transfer. Nunes and earlier Carol’s experience demonstrated how the record-breaking value tag will affect the view of the Liverpool striker.

But after easily winning the Premier League title without a fixed center in essence, Liverpool is now in a strong position to sign. Ekitic is being seen as the answer to the Reds’ biggest problem last season.
