Newcastle are ready to make Ekitike the most expensive signing in the club's history. |
After completing the important contract of Anthony Elanga for the right wing position - the top priority this summer, coach Eddie Howe immediately turned to the next target, finding someone to share the burden with main striker Alexander Isak.
Callum Wilson's departure leaves Denmark U21 striker Will Osula as the only name who can replace Isak in attack, which is clearly not enough when Newcastle are competing in the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup next season.
Therefore, according to the British media, "The Magpies" are ready to spend a lot of money on Hugo Ekitike. The 23-year-old striker of Eintracht Frankfurt is being pursued by many big clubs such as Liverpool, Chelsea and MU. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano affirmed that Newcastle is determined to defeat 3 opponents in the Premier League to win the signature of the French striker.
Newcastle understand they will have to pay almost the entire £86m release clause to sign Ekitike, a player who Howe has long admired but lost to PSG in 2022.
This time, the Magpies have informed Ekitike's representatives early about their ambition to bring him to St. James' Park, and are ready to negotiate with Frankfurt to finalize a suitable fee. If successful, Ekitike will become the most expensive contract in Newcastle's history, surpassing the 75 million euro deal for Isak.
Newcastle clearly does not hide its ambition to reach new heights, ready to spend big to make the Champions League dream come true.
