After long weeks in the closet in Paris, Hugo Ekitike found a way out in Germany.
Already courted by Frankfurt last summer, the 21-year-old former Rémois committed to Eintracht in the final hours of the winter transfer window as part of a loan with an option to buy.
The news has not yet been officially announced by the clubs concerned, while the transfer window closed at 6 p.m. in Germany, but the transaction has been completed as various sources have reported.
Information that
Le Figaro
is able to confirm.
The package should bring in around €30 million in Paris, more or less the purchase value.
Recruited in 2022 in Reims, Ekitike experienced ups and downs during his first season in Paris before being sidelined following his refusal to join Frankfurt last summer.
The Parisian leaders were counting on him to facilitate the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani.
He no longer appeared in Luis Enrique's group since the end of the summer transfer window, he who played 8 minutes during the match on the first day of Ligue 1 against Lorient (0-0).
In total, the native of Reims will have played 33 matches for four goals and as many assists with Paris Saint-Germain.
