Ekitike is also looked upon by Man United, Liverpool and Newcastle United. The Red Devils may struggle to convince him as they are set to miss out on UCL spot. Their only hope to play in Champions League is by winning the Europa League.
Liverpool are likely to move-on from Darwin Nunez. In addition, they can also opt to part ways with Diogo Jota. Hence, a new striker is their top priority. However, Ekitike is not their preferred target as Arne Slot wants Alexander Isak.
Lastly, Newcastle United will only make a move for Ekitike if Isak leaves this summer. The Sweden international wants to play in UCL and hence may stay if Magpies finish in top four. He is likely to break british transfer record if moves away from St. James Park.
