The Magpies had rejected an offer of 65 million pounds for the 23-year-old, who had a career-best-22 goal season last time.
Talksport understands that the managers of Frankfurt hold on to the rating of € 100 million for the striker, who did not meet 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 with very little playing time.
Now he attracts the attention of some of the best of the Premier League, with Champions Liverpool now entering the frame.
The red are looking for a new striker with Darwin Nunez on the market and worth 59 million GBP.
As a prelude to her Ekitic interest, Liverpool Newcastle stated that they were willing to pay a British record for the Star striker Alexander Isak.
However, the Magpies appreciate the player at 150 million GBP.
However, as it looks, both Isak and Ekitics are estimated by their current employers far above what Liverpool is willing to pay.
Ben Jacobs from Talksport explained the situation of Ekiteke in more detail and said: “At the moment he is € 100 million and Frankfurt at this price.
“I think Chelsea realizes whether they are waiting a little until later in summer that the price will drop.

“I think we hear a lot of noise from Germany to create a bidding war.
“It would not surprise me if Liverpool does not get Isak and at some point giving up that they continue and that Ekikens is high in their thinking.
“Later in the window, this price of € 100 million could drop to somewhere near 85 million euros, if possibly Chelsea and Liverpool, finally take their step.”
Such a step for the two strikers would continue a blockbuster summer for Liverpool, which after the victory of the league title last season last season.
