The player has already spoken with Liverpool’s coach, Arne Slot, who detailed his vision for him as a center forward in the team.
The transfer comes after Ekitike scored 15 goals in 33 games for Frankfurt in the Bundesliga last season.
Ekitike joined Frankfurt in February 2024, coming from Paris Saint-Germain, a club that will receive 20% (£13.8 million) of his transfer fee this summer.
