22-year-old Dixing transfer, three Premier League giants may be frightened directly

Recently, news about the transfer of France's 22-year-old forward Emperor Star was rumored by the media.

However, according to news from German Sky Sports reporter Plertenberg, Frankfurt's asking price for Ekitic is still staunched with 100 million euros. Recently, Frankfurt CEO Klescher also made a clear statement in an interview: "If there is no suitable offer, he (Ekitic) will stay in the team, and we don't have to sell his needs."

At present, there are a total of three Premier League teams that want to sign Ekitic, namely Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United. However, they think the offer price in Frankfurt is a bit high, and if Frankfurt does not lower the price, they may collectively give up. So, is Ekitic worth 100 million euros?

Let's first look at Ekitic's own strength and performance. Data shows that he played in 48 games last season for Frankfurt, scoring 22 goals and sending 12 assists, which can be said to be quite impressive. He showed such strong offensive firepower at a young age and had huge room for growth. In time, it would not be impossible for Ekitic to become a world-class forward. Therefore, from the perspective of players' personal talent and development potential, Ekitic does have certain value.

From the market environment, the current football transfer market has inflation severely, and the value of outstanding young players has soared. The transfer fees of some top stars easily exceeded 100 million yuan, and the transfer fees such as Yamal, Bellingham, Mbappe are even more astonishingly high, which makes the entire market price for young and potential players relatively high. In this environment, Frankfurt priced Ekitic for 100 million euros, which seems not too outrageous. Moreover, Ekitic's contract with Frankfurt was signed in 2029, and the club took the initiative in the negotiations and had the confidence to set high prices. What's more, Frankfurt is still a famous European black store, with the potential new stars of Ekitic in hand. How could they let go easily?

However, considering various factors, the 100 million euro price still has the feeling of opening the lion's mouth for players of Ekitic. After all, although he performed well last season, he has not continued to prove himself in longer periods and higher-level events (such as the Champions League, etc.). Looking at European football, players of the same price are often superstars who have proved their strength many times in top events. In contrast, Ekitic's offer is obviously a bit lacking in persuasion.

For Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, this transfer poses a relatively large risk. Once Ekitic is spent 100 million euros to introduce him, he cannot adapt to the new team's tactical system, or his condition will fluctuate, which will be a huge loss for the club. Therefore, if Frankfurt really doesn't lower the price, I'm afraid these three Premier League giants will withdraw from this transfer transaction at the same time.
