Hugo Ekitiké has been consistently linked with a move away from Eintracht Frankfurt, but it appears that no official offer has yet been made for the striker.
According to RMC, that could soon change, with the French outlet reporting that Saudi club Al Hilal is keen to sign the 23-year-old and are currently working on an offer.
The report also names Al-Qadsiah, another Saudi club, and Newcastle United as financially strong suitors undeterred by Eintracht’s hefty €100 million asking price.
However, a major obstacle for the Saudi clubs is Ekitiké’s preference to remain in Europe.
This could give Newcastle an advantage, but the Frenchman has also been linked with several other English clubs, including Liverpool.
