Fabrizio Romano Drops Major Update on Man Utd’s Pursuit of Liverpool Target With PSG Sell-on Clause

On Monday, Romano provided an update on the Ekitiké transfer race as clubs mull over whether they want to pay the high transfer fee.

“At the moment, there is still no club-to-club contact with Eintracht Frankfurt [and Manchester United],” Romano wrote in his CaughtOffside column. “It could be an option, yes, but still an expensive option because Eintracht already had contacts with Chelsea and Chelsea know that they want around €100m for Ekitiké.

“Liverpool also remain interested in the player, especially in case Darwin Nunez leaves the club, as he is expected to do this summer. So, Ekitiké is an option for Manchester United, he’s a player appreciated by the club, and also Christopher Vivell, who is now at Old Trafford, knows the player well because he’s worked in the Bundesliga with Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig, so he’s always monitoring Bundesliga developments.”
