After long months of negotiations, Hugo Ekitike, unwanted at Paris Saint-Germain, will leave Ligue 1 to take charge of Frankfurt.
Hugo Ekitike and Paris Saint-Germain, it’s (finally) over! Expected for several months, the transfer of the French junior international will be finalized this Thursday, the closing day of the winter transfer window.
PSG has wanted to part ways with Ekitike since August. The former Rémois almost signed for Frankfurt in August, but the operation collapsed in the last hours of the summer transfer window. This had for a time called into question the transfer of Randal Kolo Muani to PSG, and this had not pleased the capital club, which had since put Ekitike on the shelf.
Ekitike, it’s over
Finally, the French striker will leave this winter, and finally head to… Frankfurt. The player agreed to reduce his salary (6 million euros per year), which posed a problem for many interested clubs, and PSG reached an agreement with Eintracht.
The outlines of the transfer are not yet confirmed, since L’Equipe mentions a loan with an easily accessible purchase option, while RMC speaks of a loan with a compulsory purchase option, as well as a percentage on resale , for a package around 30 million euros. In any case, we should not see Ekitike again with the PSG jersey, and the French champions should limit the damage with this flop purchased for 35 million euros at the Stade de Reims.
