Ekitike definitely looks like he is going to carry a big responsibility for Liverpool. Think about it, if we are seeing them pay 90+ million for this kid, who is only 23 years old, then they are doing it because they want him for like 10+ years ideally, if he can play great and be a Liverpool legend, then yeah every penny was worth it, but if he fails and becomes like Nunez then we are not going to hear the end of it.
What we need at the moment is to make sure that things could change for the long term. If we can do that, then we could get a much better result. He needs to just ignore the haters, and doubters, and just focus on his game. Liverpool paid this much for a reason, he should realize, he is worth it, and he played good enough to be worth that much, so he needs to just keep playing his game.
Both Ekitike and Nunez are now competing to show their best. Nunez is starting to realize his position is threatened, in the trial match against Stoke City managed to impress. At least Nunez is motivated to make the most of this opportunity. Seeing Liverpool active in the transfer market is very rare and this season they are serious about preparing for next season.
On the other hand the interesting thing is that Florian Wirtz does not seem to need the name adaptation, in the first trial match he immediately scored 2 assists at once. He is indeed a typical player with fast adaptation, Liverpool is lucky to be able to recruit him.
