Man Utd Make Contact With Liverpool Target With PSG Clause Amid €75M Newcastle Offer

CaughtOffside reported on Tuesday, citing sources, that Manchester United are among the clubs making the most serious push for Ékitiké and have already made contact with the striker and his representatives. The club are also considering a player-plus-cash offer to accelerate the deal.

Newcastle United are pushing to sign Ékitiké in a deal worth around €75 million, according to The Athletic. While nothing is finalized yet, negotiations with Eintracht Frankfurt are ongoing.

If the move goes through, it would become the most expensive signing in club history, topping the €71.2 million spent on Aleksander Isak in 2022.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano added that Newcastle submitted an official offer on Monday. Their bid comes in higher than another club’s €70 million proposal earlier this summer, showing their intent to get the deal done.
