Manchester United is keen on signing 22-year-old striker Hugo Ekitike, following exclusive reports from Fabrizio Romano. Ekitike has a hefty asking price of 100m, which poses a challenge for the club, particularly as they have not yet initiated formal talks with Eintracht Frankfurt. Both Chelsea and Liverpool are also vying for Ekitike, creating a competitive market. United is considering a swap deal, potentially involving players like Rasmus Hojlund or Joshua Zirkzee, in an effort to lower the transfer fee amid ongoing discussions.
"Sources have confirmed to CaughtOffside that a swap deal is not being ruled out, with United open to using Rasmus Hojlund or Joshua Zirkzee as part of their offer for Ekitike."
"Ekitike's 100m price tag is expected to be problematic, but United are internally discussing how to get that fee down."
