The club is said to be gathering details about his availability, valuation, and Frankfurt’s position on a potential transfer.
United’s pursuit of a dynamic forward for the 2025/26 season aligns with their interest in Ekitike, who has rejuvenated his career in Germany following a challenging period at Paris Saint-Germain. He is now considered one of Europe’s most promising young strikers.
However, United face stiff competition from Liverpool and Chelsea, both of whom have been closely following Ekitike’s performances in the Bundesliga, where his growth and goal-scoring form have drawn significant attention.
Frankfurt are reportedly holding firm, demanding €100 million and showing no intention of negotiating unless that figure is met.
With three Premier League heavyweights in the mix, the race to sign Ekitike is intensifying. The coming weeks will be crucial as clubs decide whether to match Frankfurt’s valuation.
Alongside their interest in Ekitike, United have already secured the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves and are said to be considering moves for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta, suggesting a busy summer transfer window at Old Trafford
