British media: Newcastle is preparing to offer Ekitic for the first time, intending to partner with Isaac and Ilanga

According to the British media "Chronicle Evening News", Newcastle is preparing to offer Ekitic for the first time, intending to partner with Isaac and Ilanga.

According to reports last night, Newcastle held secret talks in Germany last weekend, and the content of the discussions was leaked to the media in Frankfurt. German media said Frankfurt is now preparing to welcome Newcastle's first offer to Ekitic.

It is understood that these conversations are still in progress, and for Newcastle, the key question seems to be whether there is any room for maneuver for the £86 million asking price.

As Frankfurt is willing to sell, people hope to eventually reach a deal with nearly £70 million with floating clauses. Newcastle's move has aroused Liverpool's vigilance.

First, Slot is still interested in Isaac. Liverpool listed him as one of the top targets earlier in the summer window.

However, the Chronicle Evening News was told that Isaac was still a non-sale product, and Newcastle's plan was to partner Ekitic with Isaac, plus new player Ilanga to form Eddie Howe's ideal front line.

Secondly, if Liverpool cannot get Isaac, Ekitic was once regarded as an alternative by the Reds.

It is reported that broker Ali Bharat visited Tyneside yesterday to complete the deal, but Newcastle has not confirmed this yet.

So far, Newcastle's statement is simply that they have increased their interest in Ekitic. In a potential deal between Newcastle and Ekitic, personal terms are still to be agreed upon.
