Premier League outfit Newcastle United are pushing for the acquisition of Franco-Cameroonian forward Hugo Ekitike in the ongoing summer transfer window.
The Magpies are keen on bolstering their squad for the 2025/26 football campaign, with the 23-year-old attacker emerging as a priority target.
Ekitike’s impressive performance for Eintracht Frankfurt last season has attracted many suitors, with Newcastle United ready to splash huge sums of money for his signing.
Negotiations are currently in full swing, with Ekitike expressing desire to make the move to the Premier League. However, an official offer has been submitted to Frankfurt from the Magpies.
According to reports, the Premier League club are ready to offer €70 million in an attempt to snap up the talented attacker this summer.
Ekitike has been identified as Newcastle’s main transfer target to bolster their attacking firepower for next season and are ready to do everything for his signing.
The French forward joined German side Eintracht from PSG last winter and has since scored 26 goals and provided 14 assists in 64 appearances.
The player’s current contract with the club runs until 2029, and his market value is estimated at €75 million.
