Liverpool.com on MSNArne Slot could sanction 8 Liverpool exits before transfer window shuts after Hugo Ekitike arrival
Liverpool is set to complete the signing of Hugo Ekitike this week, but the Reds are unlikely to be done there in the transfer window, with players being linked with exits
Liverpool famously vetoed the £53m signing of Nabil Fekir from Lyon back in June 2018 after becoming aware of a knee issue, once the Frenchman had carried out his medical. Therefore, if something similar occurs during Ekitike’s medical check, those at Anfield could well send him back to Frankfurt.
In stark contrast to recent transfer windows, the Reds have massively flexed their muscles in the marketplace this summer, bringing in Giorgi Mamardashvili (deal done in 2024), Jeremie Frimpong, Armin Pecsi, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez for a combined outlay exceeding £170m.
With Hugo Ekitike closing in on a move to Liverpool, the Premier League champions' dressing room will soon welcome the Frenchman's reported excitable nature behind the scenes
