Manchester United Intensify Transfer Talks for Hugo Ekitike – Show Genuine Interest in Striker
Manchester United have increased their efforts to sign Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike over the past two days, making tangible progress in transfer negotiations.
According to a report from Foot Mercato, the club has stepped up discussions with Ekitike’s representatives, and also initiated contact with Frankfurt, positioning themselves ahead of rivals such as Chelsea and Liverpool, who are still in the early stages of interest.
Ekitike, 22, has drawn considerable attention this transfer window following another strong season in the Bundesliga. Multiple Premier League clubs have shown interest, but United appear to be taking the lead.
The Red Devils have reportedly monitored Ekitike since his time at Stade Reims, and are now making serious moves to secure his services. Talks with the player’s agent have gained momentum recently, signaling that Manchester United may be making a determined push.
Their interest also extends to direct communication with Eintracht Frankfurt to understand the club’s valuation of the striker—another indication that United are treating the potential deal with seriousness.
While a final agreement is yet to be reached, and despite various rumors about Ekitike this summer that haven’t materialized into official bids, Manchester United seem to be genuinely pursuing the player. However, until a formal offer is submitted, the situation remains uncertain.
