According to recent information, Newcastle has made an initial offer for Ekitike, which is valued at £70 million. However, Eintracht Frankfurt has rejected this proposal, indicating that they are not willing to sell their player at this price.
It is understood that Eintracht Frankfurt values Ekitike higher, at approximately £86 million. This valuation is not surprising, given that Ekitike only joined the club a year ago for £14 million and has a contract that runs until 2029.
Newcastle's previous record transfer was £63 million, paid to Real Sociedad for striker Alexander Isak in 2022. This recent interest in Ekitike suggests that the club is willing to invest in top talent to strengthen their team.
