Ekitike, the dangerous game of PSG

Unwanted at PSG, the 21-year-old striker could join Eintracht Frankfurt before the end of the month. At least if the capital club doesn’t get too greedy…

In less than a week, the winter transfer window will close its doors. And Hugo Ekitike, who is one of the players to be transferred as a priority for Paris Saint-Germain, has still not left the Rouge et Bleu. However, the former Rémois has no shortage of suitors since clubs like Wolfsburg and Wolverhampton are interested in his profile.

But it is above all Eintracht Frankfurt which is pushing hard to secure the services of the Parisian number 44. According to RMC Sport, the managers of the German club would have offered a loan with purchase option, the amount of which is around 20 million euros including bonus. Offer refused by their Ile-de-France counterparts. They undoubtedly want to get as close as possible to the sum for which they poached him from Stade de Reims, in the summer of 2022, i.e. 35 million euros. Quite a dangerous game given that Frankfurt’s offer seems more than reasonable for a player who has hardly played since the start of the season.

Sidelined by Luis Enrique, Hugo Ekitike would not necessarily be affected by this situation. “He hasn’t received any insults in recent weeks, that’s not true. He is doing very well physically and mentally, and he maintains great discipline and professionalism on a daily basis.”announced Karl Mwalako Buchmann, his agent, through a press release published last month.
