Live from Fabrizio Romano: Hugo Ekitike is making headlines tonight with a thunderous statement that has stunned his current club and electrified Liverpool fans around the world.

The talented French forward is reportedly on the verge of handing in a formal transfer request in a bid to force a move to Liverpool with immediate effect.
In an explosive declaration that has now gone viral, Ekitike didn’t hold back:
“I’ve made it clear to the club—I want to leave. The moment I heard Liverpool were interested, my mind was made up. This is a club you don’t say NO to, and I won’t risk waiting around. This is my career, my future, and I’m taking control of it. I’m handing in a transfer request because I want to wear that red shirt. Let me go—this isn’t a request, it’s a warning. My decision is final. It’s Liverpool or nothing.”
According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have been monitoring Ekitike closely and are now expected to make an official approach within the next 48 hours. Sources close to the player say he’s already informed teammates and family that he’s “mentally ready” for the switch to Anfield.
The reaction from the Liverpool fanbase has been nothing short of electric. Social media is flooded with messages of support for the 21-year-old, praising his passion, ambition, and desire to play for the badge rather than the bank balance.
“Yes, this is exactly the kind of player we want! Someone who chooses the club, not the money. Get him for us immediately—this is a statement signing in the making!” one fan posted.
With Ekitike ready to risk everything to join Liverpool, the ball is now in his club’s court. But one thing is certain—the lad has heart, fire, and a clear message:
“Let me go. It’s Liverpool or nothing.”
