This summer, Paris Saint-Germain decided to bring in new blood in attack. Neymar Jr and Lionel Messi are gone. Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani, Gonçalo Ramos, Marco Asensio and Bradley Barcola have arrived in the capital. They are accompanied by Kylian Mbappé, who finally stayed after a long standoff with his management. Yes, but the Parisian offensive sector is struggling to convince at the moment. This is particularly the case for the first three players mentioned. Meanwhile, Hugo Ekitike (21 years old) is still there.
A difficult situation
This summer, the striker was bought permanently by the Ile-de-France residents. But their idea was to sell it and make the most of it. West Ham, Lens, Borussia Dortmund and many others came knocking on Nasser Al-KhelaĂŻfi’s door. But the former Reims player rejected his suitors one after the other. At the end of the transfer window, Eintracht Frankfurt wanted to recover him to compensate for the imminent loss of Kolo Muani. Which suited the residents of the Parc des Princes, who wanted to include him in the operation. But Ekitike refused to join the German club.
This angered NAK and the leaders, who finally enlisted RKM. For his part, Ekitike, who had been warned at the start of the summer that he did not fit into the plans of Luis Enrique and Luis Campos, was put aside. The Frenchman, who played 9 minutes against Lorient on the first day, disappeared from the radar. This Friday, The Parisian gives his news. Thus, on match days, the player, who continues to train with the group as stipulated in the professional football charter, often remains alone at the training center with a physical trainer and the other players absent from the group.
A highly anticipated transfer window
He also hired the services of a physical trainer to compensate for the lack of competition and stay in shape. The sessions are more numerous when the Parisians play a match. Ekitike, who feels that nothing will ever be the same again and that PSG will not change its mind regarding him, is taking his troubles patiently. But he struggles with his situation and begins to have enough. He doesn’t really express himself and doesn’t show “anger” or “disappointment” according to the French media. He “rounds his back” and sets an example. He is always punctual and gives his all to training.
Despite this, Paris remains firm. The footballer, who attended a few meetings of his teammates, no longer has any relationship with management. On the other hand, the link is not broken with the other players. Put aside, the striker is patiently waiting for the month of January and the next transfer window. Recently, we revealed to you that an English club whose name has not been leaked is very interested in the idea of ​​getting him back this winter. There may be other exits for Hugo Ekitike, approached a few weeks ago to play the role of medical joker at LOSC. It hadn’t gone any further. In January, the situation will be different.
