The story between PSG and Hugo Ekitike therefore only lasted one season. Loaned to Eintracht Frankfurt since this summer, the 21-year-old French striker was transferred permanently to Germany. The two clubs communicated this Friday on the exercise of the purchase option included in the loan of the ex-Rémois, now under contract until 2029 with Frankfurt. After having convinced his new club during his recent outings, the 21-year-old striker will nevertheless have to make some concessions.

To finalize this transfer, Eintracht paid Paris Saint-Germain a total compensation of around 20 million for Hugo EkitikĂ©, who thus becomes the most expensive recruit in the club’s history. But according to information from Bild, his base salary is now 3 million euros with the Eagles, while he received 7 million euros per year at PSG. Until the end of his contract, the Frenchman will give up a total of 20 million euros.
