95 million euros! Liverpool has finalized the replacement for Isack, intercepting Newcastle, and spending 300 million euros in the summer window

Just when most fans were shocked by Liverpool's 120 million pounds bid for Isaac, Newcastle decisively chose to refuse, while Liverpool quickly chose Isaac's replacement and played for Ekitic of Frankfurt. According to well-known football reporter Romano, Liverpool has been close to completing the transaction with Frankfurt. Ekitic will join the Premier League with a transfer fee of 95 million euros. Both clubs have accepted this price, including bonuses and additional terms, and Ekitic will receive a 6-year contract.

French scorer played for Frankfurt for only one and a half seasons and only officially joined last season. For this reason, Frankfurt paid a transfer fee of 16.5 million euros. However, after just one season, Ekitic could bring Frankfurt a maximum of 95 million euros in transfer fee, which was more than most fans expected. After all, although Ekitic's performance is good, he still has great training value at the age of 23, but compared with his performance in the Bundesliga and Ligue 1, this number is still a bit exaggerated.

Ekitic previously joined Paris Saint-Germain from Reims and has also received the attention of many fans, and is even considered a player who can gain a foothold in Paris Saint-Germain. However, Paris Saint-Germain was a frontcourt trident composed of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. There was almost no living space for Ekitic. His performance in the team was also very average. He was on as a substitute for most of the time. He was sent to Frankfurt by the club on loan two seasons ago. After the official transfer last season, he played for the team in 33 games, scored 15 goals and sent 8 assists.

From the perspective of personal technical characteristics, Ekitic and Isaac's technical styles are similar. Both are shooters with relatively high running ability and efficiency, but compared with Isaac's physical confrontation ability and ball-holding ability, Ekitic still has a lot of room for improvement. Ekitic's performance in the Bundesliga last season is still an unknown whether he can adapt to the rhythm of the game and physical confrontation after coming to the Premier League. There are not many players produced by Frankfurt who have valued, and Liverpool's choice is still a bit risky.

Liverpool is difficult to buy Isaac, and it is understandable that it is a player of similar types to Isaac. Ekitic is one of the few young scorers with high value and low salary. There is no big problem with this deal, but the transfer fee is still relatively high. The details of the contract between the two parties have not been confirmed yet. If Liverpool pays a relatively low fixed transfer fee and a difficult floating clause, the transaction may be more cost-effective, but if the high basic transfer fee plus easy-to-reach terms, this transaction requires Ekitic to prove his ability in the future. Whether he can gain a foothold in the Premier League is the key.

Ekitic's transfer also means that Liverpool's spending has exceeded 300 million euros this summer window, and this will not be the end of Liverpool's signings. Many players, including Guy, are still within Liverpool's signing range, and it is even possible that it will exceed 400 million euros. After winning the championship, Liverpool was not satisfied with the existing lineup configuration. Their recruitment style and recruitment candidates were all for better maintaining dominance. The new season is a test and an opportunity for Slott.
