Hugo Ekitike is on the Manchester United list of interests.
Reporter Florian Flettenberg, who is active in Sky Sports in Germany and is fluent in the news of the transfer market, said on his personal SNS on the 18th (Korea time), "Manchester United wants to strengthen its attack in the summer and is scouting the transfer market intensively. Negotiations have already begun. Among German Bundesliga players, Ekitike and Benjamin Seschko are closely watching. Victor Jockeres and Victor Osimhen are also at the top of the list.'
Manchester United is in a position to strengthen its offense, especially its striker, in the upcoming summer transfer market. Since Cristiano Ronaldo's strange departure, United have failed to reinforce their striker in succession. Rasmus Hoyleun, who was brought in after paying 75 million euros (about 118.8 billion won), and Joshua Zirkji, who was brought in this summer, are not performing as expected, so Manchester United is showing their worst offense.
In response, Manchester United is dreaming of strengthening its offense by recruiting a new striker. There has been no news yet that he is close to recruiting a player, but Ekitike is one of the players who will cheer the most with the transfer rumor.
Ekitike was a rising prospect in Stadren, France, in the 2021-2022 season. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) immediately snatched it when the 20-year-old showed potential. However, Ekitike did not receive a steady chance at PSG, and his growth stagnated. With additional acquisitions of Randal Kolo-Muani and Gonzalo Hamus, Ekitike was completely pushed out.
In the end, the player stepped up and pushed for the transfer. This is often the case, but Ekitike was controversial for pushing for a transfer to Crystal Palace without consulting the club at all. Angered PSG removed Ekittike from the first team.
Ekitike, who disappeared from the first team for six months, went on loan to Einracht Frankfurt in the winter of 2024 to soothe his sadness at PSG. Ekitike, who succeeded in a complete transfer, has emerged as the core of Frankfurt this season. With 19 goals and eight assists in 38 games, it became a special Bundesliga supernova.
Frankfurt is also preparing to sell its players after recognizing big clubs' moves to recruit Ekittike in advance. Reporter Flettenberg earlier this month "Frankfurter is considering a move for Ekittiecke to the transfer window this summer. Frankfurt expects Ekitike to leave the club in the summer by almost 99% as there is already specific interest from many top clubs"It was reported. Frankfurt is believed to want as much as 80 million euros (about 126.8 billion won).
The transfer fee is absolutely not small, so it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can play boldly. Manchester United reportedly want more Osimhen and Jockeres.
