The news about the arrival of Ektian in Liverpool, Newcastle will be shown as a blow to a 70 million pound offer, which was rejected.

However, there were no such add-ons that their Premier League competitors had submitted.

At the time of Newcastle’s offer, Talksport knew that the managers of Frankfurt assessed the assessment of their previous 100 million. € (£ 87 million) for the striker, who had not met the high expectations until last season.

Ektiten was on stage with the Boyhood Club Reims in 2021 and was stuck as a future France star in France, but did not do justice to the hype with a failed move to Paris Saint-Germain, who have very little season.

But after a season in which he scored 22 times in all competitions for Frankfurt, he was on Liverpool and Newcastles Radar.

The Reds were looking for a new striker with Darwin Nunez on the market and worth 59 million GBP.

As a prelude to her EktiSten interest, Liverpool Newcastle stated that they were willing to pay a British record for the Star striker Alexander Isak.
