The transfer process could be complicated, as Liverpool might need to pay a significant amount, £86.5 million, to release Ekitike from his current contract. However, Ekitike has already taken a step to facilitate the move by handing in a transfer request to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Another club, Newcastle, is also interested in signing Ekitike. However, Ekitike's preference is to join Liverpool, and he is working to make this transfer happen.
