Mirror: Blues and French Eagle have preliminary discussion on Ekitic, Blues are unwilling to meet the 100 million euro demand

British media Mirror reported that Chelsea and Frankfurt had a preliminary discussion on Ekitic's transfer, and Chelsea was unwilling to meet Frankfurt's asking price for players of 100 million euros.

reported that according to sources, Ekitic and Chelsea had already had a deep conversation on personal terms. The striker scored 22 goals in various competitions in the 24-25 season, and he also attracted the attention of Liverpool.

Chelsea has currently held preliminary discussions with Frankfurt on the transfer, but Chelsea has also made it clear that they are unwilling to accept Frankfurt's asking price of 100 million euros (84 million pounds). Chelsea also has other signings, including Cesco and Yorke.

After qualifying for the Champions League next season, Frankfurt believes he is in a good position in negotiations. After selling Malmush for £59 million in January, the team felt no pressure to sell players immediately.

Although Drapp has been signed for £30 million, Chelsea is still interested in Ekitic. In the past few weeks, Chelsea has had multiple rounds of dialogue with players' representatives. If the clubs can reach an agreement, the players want to transfer to Chelsea to play.

report pointed out that Paris will receive a 20% second transfer share from Ekitic's transfer. Frankfurt is known for being tough in the negotiations, and Chelsea will continue to advance the transfer only if it believes that an agreement can be reached under reasonable conditions. The situation is relatively complicated, but Ekitic is still expected to leave Frankfurt this summer.
