According to GIVEMESPORT, Manchester United has held preliminary negotiations on Ekitic's transfer, but they are weighing whether to push the deal further as senior officials worry that his high price may bring risks.
Frankfurt wants to avoid key players leaving the team after the summer transfer window is reopened, so the asking price for Ekitic is as high as £85 million.
Sources revealed that Amorin had always wanted to sign an experienced shooter, but the board ignored his request and instead approached Ekitic. Despite this, Manchester United believes that Portugal Sports' Yorkie and Naples' Osmeon are more experienced and are safer choices.
Ekitic scored an average of every 172 minutes in the 2024/25 Bundesliga. Although described as "the most elegant striker in Europe", Manchester United still has doubts about whether he is worth the money. In addition, he lacks Premier League experience and does not meet the type of player Amorin expects.
