In a potential player-plus-cash deal involving Hugo Ekitike, Manchester United are contemplating offering Joshua Zirkzee to Eintracht Frankfurt. The club is considering offloading either Zirkzee or Rasmus Hojlund as part of the transaction. It has been reported that United have already communicated with Ekitike’s representatives and are preparing to initiate formal discussions with Frankfurt shortly. Nevertheless, Ekitike's substantial price tag of €100 million is presenting challenges for United, making the player-plus-cash proposal an appealing strategy to reduce their financial outlay. This potential agreement could not only secure Ekitike, a promising young striker who scored 22 goals and contributed 12 assists last season for Frankfurt, but also bolster United's No 9 position while eliminating underperforming players from their roster.
