Manchester United are ‘seriously considering’ a move to sign Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike this summer, according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.
The Red Devils are expected to be busy in the transfer window as Ruben Amorim looks to rebuild his squad, with the attacking department set to be a priority area to strengthen.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are the current striker options at the manager’s disposal but neither have really solidified their position as guaranteed starters, and the Reds are now eyeing a move for the France youth international to come in and bolster them.
Man Utd Want Ekitike
Frankfurt want £67m
The former Paris Saint-Germain star has enjoyed a stunning campaign for the Bundesliga side this season, netting 19 goals and registering seven assists in 37 appearances across all competitions.
Those performances have seen him dubbed ‘insane’, and now Man Utd are said to be ‘seriously considering’ a move to bring him to Old Trafford for the new season, as Amorim looks to shape the squad in his own image.
However, Frankfurt are aware of big interest in the 22-year-old and are demanding at least £67m to let him leave the club this summer – having splashed out just £14m to make his loan move permanent 12 months ago.
