However, there are those that consider Ekitike’s arrival might open the door for Isak to go away.
The Magpies have been all for signing Joao Pedro from Brighton, however Chelsea received that race, and consequently withdrew their very own curiosity in Ekitike. That goes for Manchester United as nicely, after the Crimson Devils accomplished the Matheus Cunha deal and proceed to push for Bryan Mbeumo. Nonetheless, Newcastle are conscious that Liverpool stay robust contenders for the providers of the 23-year-old, after the current tragic passing of Diogo Jota, and with Darwin Nunez closing in on a transfer to Napoli.
Ekitike’s contract with Eintracht, legitimate till 2029, is believed to include a €100million launch clause, and at this level, it appears the Bundesliga facet aren’t ready to promote for something much less.
