The storm has arrived. What was once a rumour has become reality — and the response is explosive. Hugo Ekitike is now a Liverpool player, but not everyone is celebrating. In fact, some of the loudest voices in the Liverpool community are ringing the alarm.

Jamie Carragher, one of the most respected legends in the club’s history, has delivered a brutal assessment of the transfer live from Anfield.

“I didn’t want to believe it… but from everything I’ve seen, it’s true — we’ve signed him. And honestly, I’m embarrassed. I’m disappointed. £90 million for that? It’s madness. Take it or leave it — I’d choose our most insulted player Nunez from last season a hundred times over him. At least that player fought for the badge. This just feels like a desperate move. It’s a massive gamble, and one we’ll probably regret.”

His words have sparked instant reactions online. Many fans now echo Carragher’s frustration, questioning how Liverpool could commit such a staggering fee to a player who hasn’t proven himself at the highest level.

And Carragher’s comparison to Darwin Nunez is striking. Nunez, despite being mocked, criticised, and labelled a flop, kept fighting. He never hid. He wore the shirt with fire. And now, in hindsight, many believe he brought far more to the pitch than Ekitike is expected to.

This isn’t just about talent — it’s about character, drive, and the standards that once defined Liverpool Football Club.

The fans have spoken. The legend has spoken. Now all eyes turn to the pitch.

Will Ekitike rise above the noise — or will this become one of the most regrettable signings in recent memory?
