  • NHL BREAKING: Connor McDavid Makes Final Decision Between Staying with the Oilers or Exploring Free Agency – “I Hope My Decision Is For Good”**
  • Newcastle’s **€80 million bid for Hugo Ekitiké** has reportedly been rejected by Eintracht Frankfurt — and according to *Sky Germany*, the stumbling block isn’t about the number itself, but the **payment structure**. Here’s a breakdown of what we know and why this saga is far from over. — ### 💶 1. The offer—and why it fell short According to *Sky Germany* journalist Florian Plettenberg, Newcastle submitted a **written offer of €80 million**, but Frankfurt immediately said no. While the total fee may have matched the German club’s valuation, the **payment terms** weren’t satisfactory—likely involving excessive instalments or conditional add-ons that failed to meet Frankfurt’s requirement for upfront clarity and financial certainty ([Bavarian Football Works][1]). — ### 2. Clubs willing to go higher The rejection was reportedly also influenced by **interest from other clubs** ready to exceed the €80 million mark. Frankfurt seems keen on maximizing value and might be waiting for a more attractive bid . — ### 3. Pressure tactics from Newcastle After the initial rejection, reports from *BILD* suggest Newcastle is **upping the pressure** with plans to table a new package worth close to **€100 million** ([BILD][2]). The strategy reportedly includes: * Pressing Ekitiké’s camp to **sign off quickly**, stressing his preference for a move to the Premier League over offers from Saudi Arabia. * Expectation that Frankfurt’s sporting directors, currently on holiday, anticipate a **revised, more attractive bid** soon ([BILD][2], [Bavarian Football Works][1]). — ### 4. Player preference and competing suitors Ekitiké, at **23**, is reportedly pushing for a Premier League move—he’s already **rejected an approach from Al-Hilal**, citing his desire to stay in Europe ([BILD][2]). Other Premier League heavyweights—like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool—have **stepped back**, leaving Newcastle in a strong position as the frontrunner ([BILD][2]). — ### 5. Strategic balance for Frankfurt Eintracht must weigh the benefits of a lucrative sell-on against the **loss of a key striker** just as they gear up for a Champions League campaign. While the money could strengthen their squad long-term, losing Ekitiké would potentially **diminish their competitive edge** ([Bavarian Football Works][1]). — ### 6. Isak’s place under threat—and the domino effect Alexander Isak, Newcastle’s record signing, currently holds favoured status. But a mega-fee deal for Ekitiké could ripple through their plans: * Ekitiké could **provide depth or even replace Isak** if the Swede departs. * Liverpool (and perhaps Arsenal) are reportedly plotting offers for Isak in the range of **£120–130 million**, pushing Newcastle to hedge their bets ([Sky Sports][3], [The Liverpool Offside][4]). * Isak remains “**not for sale**” officially, but the Ekitiké pursuit shows Newcastle is preparing for multiple scenarios . — ### 🔮 What happens next? Newcastle is expected to follow up their initial rejection with a **revised €100 million package**, addressing Frankfurt’s money-upfront demands and improving the likelihood of a deal . Should they succeed, the Premier League heavyweights may finalize an agreement in the coming days—but **Frankfurt will only accept if there’s an established agreement** between Newcastle and Ekitiké . — ### 🧠 Final Analysis This transfer story is less about the headline figure and more about negotiation structure, timing, and strategy: | Key Factor | Importance | | ———————- | —————————————————– | | **Payment Terms** | Crucial—Frankfurt wants clarity up front | | **Player Preference** | Ekitiké favours Premier League; helps Newcastle | | **Competing Offers** | Presence of other bidders boosts Frankfurt’s leverage | | **Isak Scenario** | Newcastle must balance ambition with existing assets | | **Competitive Timing** | Frankfurt’s Champions League campaign adds urgency | — As the pressure mounts, the coming week could bring a breakthrough—or further delay. Will Newcastle deliver the financial reassurance Frankfurt demands? And can they juggle this pursuit with Isak’s uncertain future? The next bid will likely decide. — * [Bavarian Football Works](https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2025/7/16/24468153/hugo-ekitike-newcastle-united-80m-transfer-eintracht-frankfurt-rejects-initial-approach-nufc-epl-ucl?utm_source=chatgpt.com) * [BILD](https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/eintracht-frankfurt-so-setzt-newcastle-frankfurts-ekitike-unter-druck-68776cbe9ecd0f747df65d8c?utm_source=chatgpt.com) [1]: https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2025/7/16/24468153/hugo-ekitike-newcastle-united-80m-transfer-eintracht-frankfurt-rejects-initial-approach-nufc-epl-ucl?utm_source=chatgpt.com “Bundesliga Watch: Eintracht Frankfurt rejects initial approach from Newcastle United for Hugo Ekitiké” [2]: https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/eintracht-frankfurt-so-setzt-newcastle-frankfurts-ekitike-unter-druck-68776cbe9ecd0f747df65d8c?utm_source=chatgpt.com “So setzt Newcastle jetzt Frankfurts Ekitiké unter Druck!” [3]: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12040/13397022/hugo-ekitike-to-newcastle-eintracht-frankfurt-turn-down-club-record-70m-bid-from-magpies-for-french-forward?utm_source=chatgpt.com “Hugo Ekitike to Newcastle: Eintracht Frankfurt turn down club-record £70m bid from Magpies for French forward | Football News | Sky Sports” [4]: https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-fc-transfer-news/2025/7/15/24468359/liverpool-fc-transfer-news-newcastle-brace-130m-alexander-isak-bid-hugu-ekitike-70m-offer-rejected?utm_source=chatgpt.com “Rumour Mongering: Newcastle Brace for £130M Isak Bid as Ekitike Offer Rejected”
