After a warm-up match in Frankfurt weekend, coach Toppmerle hinted that striker Ekitic is likely to be a transfer and leaving the team.
Previous media reports said that Frankfurt is now expected to reach an agreement soon after Liverpool submitted a second offer for Ekitic, but they are still reviewing the details of the new offer and making further clarification with Liverpool.
Ekitic did not play in this warm-up match, and Topmer said after the game: "It will be a heavy loss. We lost Marmush, the absolute top player in our team in the winter. It is also very likely that this player (Ekitic) will also become a past tense."
