Frankfurt rejected Newcastle's terrible offer to Hugo Ekitike. |
Frankfurt wanted £ 86 million for the French striker while Newcastle suggested about 65 million pounds. The German team is not satisfied with the payment structure that Choi Choi offers, they also refer to other teams ready to pay higher prices.
Meetings are expected to continue at Austria, where coach Eddie Howe's team is training to prepare for the new season. Newcastle is waiting for the results of the future of Alexander Isak, they may meet the proposal from the German team if they sell the Swedish striker to Liverpool.
Frankfurt was very tough in the transfer market, they used to sell Randal Kolo Muorni with 95 million euros and only agreed to Omar Marmoush to Man City for a large fee. Frankfurt confirmed that there was no pressure to sell Ekitike at all costs, so Newcastle would have to give up or raise the price to buy this striker.
