Hugo Ekitiké Transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt to Newcastle United

Newcastle United is interested in signing Hugo Ekitike, but the asking price of £77m is too high for them, and it would require breaking their current transfer record. They might need to sell players like Alexander Isak to afford Ekitike, which they are reluctant to do.

Newcastle are also interested in Hugo Ekitike, who is valued at €100 million by Eintracht Frankfurt. The club is confident Ekitike will make a move this summer due to his current form.

Newcastle United is also interested in a move for Hugo Ekitike. Scouts from Newcastle United were present to watch Ekitike during Frankfurt’s Europa League quarter-final match against Tottenham Hotspur. The Bundesliga club is reportedly seeking a fee of €100m (£86.5m) for Ekitike.

Newcastle United is interested in acquiring Hugo Ekitiké. Eintracht Frankfurt demands at least 95 to 100 million euros for the 22-year-old striker, who is under contract until 2029.

According to Bild, Hugo Ekitiké's performance and potential transfer prospects have garnered attention following his impressive display against Tottenham Hotspur. Ekitiké, who is currently with Eintracht Frankfurt, found the net during a Europa League match in London against Tottenham. This match was part of his 'England-Casting', during which scouts from top English clubs, such as Newcastle, were present to evaluate him. Eintracht Frankfurt's sporting director, Markus Krösche, has reportedly set a minimum transfer fee of 80 million euros, and there are internal hopes within the club that Ekitiké could become their first player to be sold for 100 million euros. His performances in European competitions are enhancing his market value.

Hugo Ekitike is expected to be one of the most talked-about names this summer. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Newcastle United have all added the young French striker to their transfer lists. Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt have set a price tag of €80 million for Ekitike. Although Eintracht Frankfurt plans to keep Ekitike until 2026, they would be open to selling him for the right offer. PSG is entitled to a 20% share of any future transfer profits.

Newcastle United were among the clubs with scouts in attendance to watch Ekitike against England. FootballTransfers has been informed that Newcastle are indeed eager to sign Ekitike, with the France U21 international set to become one of their primary targets if Alexander Isak departs this summer. Newcastle 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.

90min reports on Arsenal's strong interest in the Frenchman as his potential transfer to the club heats up. Arsenal's interest is described as 'hot' and the Gunners are billed as the Frenchman's most likely destination, ahead of Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester United at this stage.

Hugo Ekitiké, currently playing for Eintracht Frankfurt, is being targeted by Newcastle United as a replacement for Alexander Isak, who is expected to leave the club in the summer. Newcastle has already made initial contacts with Ekitiké's representatives to understand the conditions of a potential transfer. The transfer fee is set at a minimum of 80 million Euros.

Newcastle are reportedly considering Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike as a replacement for Isak. The club had previously shown interest in Ekitike when he was with Paris Saint-Germain. Ekitike was close to joining Newcastle during his time at Stade Reims, but he decided to sign with Paris Saint-Germain instead. It is noted that the Ligue Un giants have a 20% sell-on clause in any deal, making them a party with vested interest in any potential transfer. Ekitike, who is under contract until June 2029, might be sold by Eintracht in the summer for at least €80 million.

Newcastle United is considering signing Hugo Ekitike as a potential replacement if their current forward, Alexander Isak, departs the club this summer. Previously, Ekitike had been on the verge of joining Newcastle during his tenure at Stade Reims but ultimately chose Paris Saint-Germain instead. Newcastle's interest in Ekitike persists, viewing him as a suitable candidate to fill Isak's shoes. Ekitike's transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt was finalized for €16.5m in July, and since then, he has netted 17 goals and contributed six assists in 32 matches across all competitions. His existing contract with Eintracht Frankfurt is valid until 2029, with an estimated transfer value of €41.2m. Should Isak, who has been associated with moves to Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, and Liverpool, leave the club, Newcastle is prepared to actively pursue Ekitike as his replacement.
