Chelsea Willing to Pay £70M for Liverpool Transfer Target With PSG Clause

On Monday, TEAMtalk reported that Premier League giants Chelsea are open to negotiating a deal, with a fee in the region of £65 million and £70 million expected to be enough to land the versatile forward this summer.

The club sees him as a dynamic addition alongside new signing Liam Delap, bringing both tactical flexibility and long-term upside.

Last week, Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg reported that Chelsea are actively working to reach a verbal agreement with Ekitiké and have already opened talks with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Frankfurt are still holding firm on its €100 million valuation, and it’s uncertain if the two sides will be able to come to terms. Discussions are ongoing, with the next steps already mapped out. Plettenberg also noted that Liverpool are in the mix, which could make things more difficult for Chelsea.
