Liverpool continues plans to sign Hugo Eintracht Frankfurt, but how have their earlier imports from the Bundesliga been done over the years?
The Reds are now locked up in negotiations with Frankfurt and Ekitike has already made it clear that he wants to move to Anfield.
We have taken a look of the 20 players who has signed Liverpool from the Bundesliga since 2000 to see how their import from Germany has done it in general.
Last month signed by Bayer Leverkusen for a club record compensation, we can't wait to see Wirtz in the Premier League next season.
The creative midfielder was not cheap, but he has all the attributes to be a roaring success at Anfield. Let's wait and see how it takes him to adapt to life in England.
Just like Wirtz, Frimpong also came out of the Bundesliga this summer and waits to make his official debut.
Replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold would never be a simple task, but Liverpool did well to ward off some competition to sign the Dutch defender.
An attacking full-back with pace to burn, Frimpong looks like it fits well with Arne-Slot.
The Hungarian attacking midfielder has shown a number of real quality flashes, but since Liverpool paid £ 60 million for his services, there is still a feeling that he still has to hit Top Gear in Anfield.
He produced 12 target contributions in the Premier League last season, although they are his off-the-ball qualities that have recently made an impression on Arne Slot.
“One of the qualities [Szoboszlai] Has absolutely the intensity with which he accepts, “Slot said reporters in May.
“You can think of all the tactics in the world, but it is always the intensity of the press that makes the difference. It doesn't matter what we think of, if we are intense, it is so difficult to play for us.
“One of the qualities that stupid is definitely the urgent part. That's why he played so much this season.”

Kabak never really recovered from that rocky start when Klopp instead turned to Nathaniel Phillips and Rhys Williams, or Jordan Henderson and Fabinho from position, while Liverpool sealed top four in 2020-21 in one way or another. It is not surprising that the club has passed the option to sign the Turkey International, which now returns to the Bundesliga for Hoffenheim.
Thiago played an integral role in the Treble success of Bayern Munich and arrived in Merseyside with a great reputation.
