Sources revealed that Liverpool agreed to a transfer of £69 million, with an additional £10 million in variables, which could raise the total cost to £79 million for the France U21 national team striker.

Sources indicated that Frankfurt will have to cede 20% of the total transfer value to Paris Saint-Germain, due to a clause included in the player’s contract when he joined Frankfurt from the Ligue 1 club in February 2024.It’s a great story for him and for Eintracht Frankfurt that he moves to one of the best teams in Europe, with the greatest ambitions and opportunities.
