RC Lens is currently looking for an attacking reinforcement of choice to succeed Loïs Openda. The tracks lead to an undesirable from Paris Saint-Germain.
The transfer window continues on the PSG side. Now it’s time for departures. This Wednesday, Luis Enrique and Luis Campos told five players from the Paris squad that they are not counting on them for the 2023-2024 season. Thus, in addition to Neymar, Verratti, Renato Sanches and Juan Bernat, it is the surprise Hugo Ekitike who must also find a new base by the end of the transfer window.
The striker did not convince in his first season at PSG and must now look for a new challenge. Even if he played several preparation matches, showing himself to his advantage with goals against Osaka and Le Havre. Not enough for the Parisian club to want to keep him in its ranks for the coming season.
Lens, preference
While his future should be looming far from Paris, the 21-year-old would seem to have a preference for a Ligue 1 club. Already followed by Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Juventus or Everton, Ekitike would have given his preference at RC Lens which is actively looking for a new number 9 for this season, according to information from The Team. Still according to the daily, PSG would prefer to integrate it into the transaction for Randal Kolo Muani in order to lower the price (by also integrating Renato Sanches, editor’s note). Case to follow.
