According to Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool have held ‘concrete talks’ with Ekitike as they seek to sign a striker this summer.
Chelsea are also understood to be interested in the Frenchman but are reluctant to pay Frankfurt’s €100 million asking price.
Liverpool are hoping to fund the deal by selling Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Federico Chiesa, a large bulk of their attacking players.
