Romano: Newcastle is struggling to sign Ekitic to step up negotiations with players and Frankfurt

Not long ago, Romano talked about the deal in Newcastle's introduction of Ekitic on his channel.

He said: "Newcastle wants to bring in Ekitic. They wanted Pedro before, who went to Chelsea in the end, so Newcastle is still paying attention to more strikers. They believe Ekitic is the perfect candidate for Eddiehou and can lead the team to the Champions League next season."

"Newcastle is working hard to advance the deal to sign Ekitic. He is one of their priority signing targets. The club is currently stepping up negotiations with the players and with Frankfurt. Of course, the player is worth a lot of money. , so this deal is neither easy nor can it be completed immediately. "

" However, Newcastle is handling this transfer "now" - either three or four weeks later, or they are pushing forward in the past few hours."

"Let's wait and see what will happen. We know that many European clubs, including Liverpool, are also interested in him, and the Reds are still watching Nunes's movements. Chelsea also contacted him in the early stage of the opening of the transfer window this summer, and Manchester United also expressed their concerns. "
