Assembly line! French Eagle bought Ekitic for 20 million and wanted to sell 100 million. Marmush + Muani sold 170 million.

July 16th July Frankfurt striker Ekitic, 23, has become a focus in the transfer market, among which Newcastle pursues the most, and Liverpool is also paying attention. Frankfurt insists on asking players for 100 million euros.

Frankfurt spent 3.5 million euros last January to loan Ekitic from Paris for half a season. The contract included a buyout clause of 16.5 million euros. The deal was not optimistic at the beginning of the period because Ekitic's development in Paris was not as expected.

But after a period of adaptation, Ekitic showed his firepower at the end of the 2023/24 season. In the last five rounds of the Bundesliga, he scored 4 goals and 1 assist.

Last summer, Frankfurt bought out Ekitic. The players continued their good performance this season, playing in 48 games, contributing 22 goals and 12 assists, and his German turnover price also rose to 75 million euros.

Frankfurt has been doing this in recent years. He bought potential forward players at a lower price and sold them at a high price. They sold Muani and Marmush respectively last summer and this winter. The two brought a total of 170 million euros in transfer fees.
