The images have toured Europe. During Liverpool's victory over Southampton (2-1) in the 3rd round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening, Hugo Ekitike confirmed his big shape by marking the match after being left from the bench. However, the match event is not so much its goal, but rather its celebration. The Frenchman removed his jersey, receiving a second very avoidable yellow card, therefore an exclusion. Furious, his coach Arne Slot attacked his player by qualifying his gesture as“Useless and stupid. »»
Despite apologies to his Instagram account, the case should not stop there. According to information from
Daily MailEkitike will undergo a financial sanction from Liverpool. No sporting consequences therefore (apart from an automatic suspension match after the box), but a case that rises to nearly 500,000 euros.
Two weeks of salary withdrawn
Thus, the Reds intend to withdraw from the attacker for two weeks of salary. An invoice which amounts to around 464,000 euros net, if we believe the figures available on the site of Foot transfer window. In detail, the attacker receives an annual salary estimated at 10.4 million pounds, the equivalent of 11.94 million euros net.
All this is obviously without counting the various bonuses which can increase its monthly remuneration, as well as the differences in taxation between England and France. This punishment nevertheless leads to believing that Hugo Ekitiké will think twice before removing his jersey.
