Aston Villa has shown interest in signing Hugo Ekitike. Eintracht Frankfurt is demanding €80 million for the player. Despite Ekitike being under contract until 2029, Frankfurt's sporting director Markus Krosche has accepted that his departure is inevitable. However, Aston Villa's chances are considered slim.

Aston Villa is set to challenge for Ekitike's signature this summer. Ekitike is reportedly set to cost around €72 million (£60m) during the 2025 summer transfer window.
