Newcastle Spurs to Recruit Hugo Ekittike...Prepared for highest transfer fee in club history

Newcastle recently held a meeting with the Frankfurt club in Germany, followed by further negotiations with Ekittike's representatives at the Austrian training camp.
The key to the negotiation is the conditions that can be the highest transfer fee ever for the club. Frankfurt sets the value of Ekitike at about 86 million pounds (about 149 billion won). This is well above the current record of Newcastle transfer Alexander Isaac (£63 million).
Newcastle have already tried to recruit Ekittike in 2022. However, he left Reims and moved to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). After that, he was loaned to Frankfurt, and made a full transfer and took another leap forward on the German stage.
Newcastle, led by head coach Eddie Howe, are focusing on strengthening their power in hopes of returning to the European match next season. In particular, reinforcing top strikers is a key task in the transfer market, and Ekitike, who has been interested for a long time, is considered a perfect target for Howe's system.
Ekitike is a player who is likely to break this record at once. Negotiations are still ongoing, but given Newcastle's aggressive moves, my conclusion may be reached this summer.
