A journalist claims that Liverpool has made Hugo Ekitike their top target as a possible Darwin Nunez replacement after discovering Newcastle United's position on the striker's future, as well as Eintracht Frankfurt's position on the player. 

One of the world's top scorers, Isak has long been a target for Liverpool, according to Fraser Fletcher, Thesportmoment's transfer correspondent. 

For Eddie Howe's team this season, the 25-year-old Sweden international made 34 Premier League games, tallying 23 goals and dishing out six assists.

Newcastle will compete in the Champions League in the 2025–2026 season after finishing fifth in the Premier League standings this year.

Isak will not be leaving Newcastle now that the Magpies have earned a spot in Europe's top club competition, according to Sky journalist Sacha Tavolieri. 

According to the well-connected reporter, Liverpool is now considering Ekitike as a possible Nunez replacement for the number nine position.

Ekitike, who might fetch up to €100 million (£84 million, $114 million), finished third in the Bundesliga this season with 31 starts and two substitute appearances, scoring 15 goals and dishing out eight assists. 

Tavolieri stated on X: Alexander Isak will remain in Newcastle after they qualify for the Champions League, as @David_Ornstein informed him. 

Hugo Ekitike is currently Liverpool's top target for the number nine spot in the event that Darwin Nuñez departs for Saudi Arabia or Spain. #LFC #mercato.

The possibility of selling Hugo Ekitike to Eintracht Frankfurt

Despite having a rough experience at Paris Saint-Germain, Ekitike has made a name for himself as one of Europe's top young strikers at Eintracht.

Although Eintracht will compete in the Champions League the next season, Markus Krosche, the club's CEO, has acknowledged that the striker may depart during the summer transfer window.

On May 18, Krosche said to Sport1: "He's among the most intriguing strikers available in Europe. 

I'm delighted we have Hugo, but he must make that decision. 

We believe that if a player develops more quickly than we do, we let him go if he chooses otherwise. 

Hugo is an outstanding player who was crucial to our Champions League qualification. 

Given that he is only 22 years old, he undoubtedly still has a great deal of development potential.

Liverpool will be relieved to hear that Eintracht may be able to move Ekitike, but other teams have also shown interest in the standout striker. 

Fraser Fletcher, Thesportmoment's journalist, stated on April 15 that three other Premier League teams will compete with Liverpool for Ekitike. 

According to sources who spoke to Thesportmoment, the youthful striker is also highly admired by Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal.

Manchester United’s summer shake-up is well underway—and the transfer merry-go-round is spinning faster than ever. While Marcus Rashford has already sealed a surprising loan move to Barcelona, all eyes are now on another big name: Antony . The Brazilian winger's future at Old Trafford hangs in the balance, and with his European options dwindling, Saudi Arabia’s top clubs are now preparing to swoop in. Let’s break down what’s really going on, who wants Antony, why his dream return to Spain has fallen apart—and how it all fits into United’s wider transfer drama. Antony Could Be Next Out the Door at Man Utd Manchester United look set to enter the new season with a very different squad from last year. Rashford’s departure was just the beginning. Now, Antony , Jadon Sancho , Alejandro Garnacho , and Tyrell Malacia are all believed to be on the exit list. Among them, Antony has become the center of the latest transfer buzz. Although his preference was to remain in Europe, especia...

A frightening sixth Liverpool summer acquisition is "close," with Slot being praised for a "no brainer" move.

According to several journalists and commentators, Liverpool is "close" to reaching a personal terms deal to recruit Marc Guehi. However, the Reds have been cautioned that the acquisition of the England player may mean the exit of an Arne Slot favourite. Even though the Premier championship champions won the championship by a margin of ten points during Slot's first season as manager, the Dutchman is still going after the transfer market this summer.  Milos Kerkez will join Giorgi Mamardashvili (who signed a deal last summer), Jeremie Frimpong, Armin Pecsi, and Florian Wirtz as new Liverpool players after his transfer to the club was finalised and an announcement is anticipated soon. Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes are far from finished, even though they have signed five players.  It is increasingly thought that they still want two more before the market closes on Monday, September 1.  Additionally, they are still keeping an eye out for a new striker and defende...

Fabrizio Romano confirms the unexpected fresh Antony inquiry as the Manchester United outcast selects his next team.

After a surprising Serie A team approached for the services of undesired winger Antony, Manchester United's ambitions of starting a bidding war over him are gaining momentum. Fabrizio Romano has also made it clear where the Brazilian sees himself next season. The 16-time Brazil captain hardly ever gave the Manchester United supporters any proof of why Erik ten Hag had persuaded the board to pay the second-highest sum in the club's history for the winger when he went from Ajax in the summer of 2022. It was not surprising when the Red Devils let him go after he had a dismal return of 17 goal contributions (12 goals, five assists) in 96 appearances. He spent the final half of the 2024–25 season on loan at Real Betis. However, the player's confidence was greatly boosted by the move to La Liga, and Antony found a manager in Manuel Pellegrini who could bring his hidden brilliance to light.  With 14 goals in just 26 games for the Andalusian team, he helped lead Los Verdiblancos to...
