The Comedy of Ekitike’s Valuation Saga…
In the world of football, where posh cars and plaid scarves rule, Chelsea’s dreams of capturing the elusive Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt have hit a wall taller than Big Ben riding a unicorn! Just when they had their sights on this goal-machine, Liverpool sneaked in like a cheeky squirrel after a shiny acorn. Frankfurt, meanwhile, with a price tag of $113 million (£84 million), is treating Ekitike like a treasure chest hidden under a dragon in Mordor!
The former PSG wizard, Ekitike has been sprinkling goal-dust here, there, and everywhere — with 22 goals and 12 magic assists last season alone! But Chelsea, already with Liam Delap in their cookie jar, isn’t biting on this pricey cake slice, leaving Liverpool twiddling their transfer thumbs. If Reds’ Harry ‘Houdini’ Wirtz and Milos ‘Magic Boots’ Kerkez sign on, they may not need any more fireworks at Anfield, unless Frankfurt lowers their “galactic emperor” demands.
While Liverpool plays peek-a-boo with Ekitike, Harvey Elliott considers swapping his Liverpool kit for an adventure in Slovakia. With Elliott pondering his football fate, it’s like an episode of ‘Footballers Got Talent’ at Anfield. We can only wait to see who steals the show and who gets the buzzer!
