Last April, Eintracht Frankfurt exercised the purchase option for Hugo Ekitike, who had been on loan to the German club from Paris Saint-Germain since January. A strong bet by the German club, especially since at the time Frankfurt’s decision-makers decided to put these 16.5 million euros on the table to recruit him permanently, the player trained in Reims was not particularly performing, since he had only scored one goal in ten games.
He finally finished the season with 4 goals and 2 assists in 16 games. But we can say that Eintracht had a good nose, since the French striker is enjoying this start to the season. He scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 3 games – 2 in the Bundesliga and one in the Cup – and is therefore making an impressive start to the 2024/2025 season.
Huge added value to come
It goes without saying that the Eintracht management are already rubbing their hands. As indicated Sport Imagethe German club is already thinking about making a big sale, a bit like that of Randal Kolo Muani to PSG (95 million euros), even if we imagine that Ekitike will not be sold to the Parisians. According to the German media, the management already estimates that a sale exceeding 60 million euros will be possible next year.
A superb move on the financial front, with a capital gain of at least 40 million euros. Hugo Ekitike will obviously have to maintain a convincing level of performance throughout the season, while the 22-year-old player was particularly popular in England during his first steps with Stade de Reims. See you in a little less than a year…
