Liverpool Look to Shatter Arsenal, Man United Hopes of Landing €60M-Rated French Ace With PSG Clause | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain are keeping a close eye on Hugo Ekitike’s potential move to Eintracht Frankfurt, as they hold a 20 percent sell-on clause and could benefit financially if the transfer goes through.

Newcastle have previously reported interest in Ekitike as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak. The club had pursued him during his time at PSG, and according to CaughtOffside, another Premier League side is also in the mix for the 22-year-old forward.

Manchester United have also been linked with Ekitike. As previously reported by Football Insider, United are competing with Newcastle and several top European clubs, having closely monitored his performances at Eintracht Frankfurt this season while targeting a new No. 9 for the summer.

One club in particular is looking to gain the edge over suitors from the Premier League. Anfield Watch is reporting that Liverpool have started talks with Ekitike, but they’re not alone in the chase—Arsenal and Manchester United are also showing interest.

According to a recent report from CaughtOffside, Manchester United are keeping a close eye on Hugo Ekitike as they look to bolster their attacking options. Eintracht Frankfurt have reportedly put an €80 million price tag on the French striker, with Arsenal also considering a potential move.

Newcastle United view Ekitike as a long-term replacement for Alexander Isak, while Chelsea are said to be interested in him as a more budget-friendly target. Liverpool and West Ham are also keeping tabs on the 21-year-old.

Despite Eintracht Frankfurt’s intention to keep Ekitike through 2026, they’re open to letting him go if a strong offer comes in. Premier League clubs are expected to test the waters with initial bids around €60 million, so this could turn into a transfer battle to watch.
