Manchester United have decided their next big signing.
Club chiefs told Ruben Amorim they will back him with a marquee buy for the forward line. The target plays in Germany.
He is only 23, yet he scored and assisted at a rate that impressed every analyst at Carrington.
Reports explain that the player’s club want around €100 million.
That fee scared away Liverpool and cooled Chelsea’s talks.
But, the Red Devils believe they can structure a smarter bid.
They are planning to add a striker in the deal.
Rasmus Højlund needs consistent minutes before the 2026 World Cup.
Joshua Zirkzee never settled in Manchester. One of them could sweeten the offer.
Early phone calls with Frankfurt showed some flexibility.
The German club like Premier League forwards because they boost shirt sales and bring instant visibility.
The red side of Manchester hopes that point nudges talks forward.
Amorim enjoys the player’s style. He presses hard, uses clever runs, and links play outside the box.
Coaches feel he fits the new high‑energy system that already features Matheus Cunha.
The Red Devils want to act fast. They remember missing Liam Delap when Chelsea jumped early.
The board aims to send an official bid to sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt by next week.
The offer will be for €60m cash plus a striker and easy add-ons.
Supporters see him as the missing piece beside Bryan Mbeumo, who is also close to signing.
Behind the scenes, Ekitike’s agents push for agreement on image rights and a five‑year deal worth about £175 k per week.
Club sources say personal terms will not block the Hugo Ekitike to Manchester United transfer.
If negotiations stay on track, Hugo Ekitike may fly to Manchester before preseason.
Ruben Amorim would then have a tall, quick finisher ready to start the club’s new era.
