Crystal Palace Ready to Pull Blockbuster Heist Over Man Utd for €80M-Rated French Talent With PSG Clause | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain are keeping a close eye on Hugo Ekitike’s potential move to Eintracht Frankfurt, as they would receive 20 percent of any transfer fee.

Newcastle are also in the mix, viewing Ekitike as a possible replacement for Alexander Isak, according to CaughtOffside. The club previously tried to sign him during his time at PSG, and another Premier League team is reportedly in the race for the 22-year-old.

Football Insider reports that Manchester United are also in the hunt, competing with Newcastle and several top European clubs. United have been tracking Ekitike’s performances at Eintracht Frankfurt this season as they search for a new No. 9.

Recently, The Mirror reported that Manchester United might have an edge in the race to sign Ekitike, as the 22-year-old has admitted he grew up supporting the club.

Nonetheless, that does not stop other clubs from pursuing the attacker. According to TEAMtalk, Crystal Palace might seek Ekitike if Jean-Philippe Mateta leaves this summer.

Last weekend, CaughtOffside reported that Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Newcastle United are all interested in Ekitike.

Manchester United are keeping a close eye on Ekitike as they look to bolster their attack. The Bundesliga club has reportedly set an €80 million price tag on the French forward, with Arsenal also considering a move.
