After months of shadow at Paris Saint-Germain, Hugo Ekitike found the light in Germany. Loaned and then definitively bought at Eintracht Frankfurt, the 22 -year -old striker took advantage of this new stage to relaunch brilliantly. Far from the Parisian pressure, he quickly won over the Bundesliga thanks to his mobility, his ability to play in support as in depth, and his sense of goal. In half a season, he knew how to become a credible holder and a major offensive asset for Frankfurt, with several decisive goals and a constant impact in the game. A real rebirth for the one who, a year earlier, seemed to have lost himself in the Parisian hierarchy.
Author of 22 goals (15 in the Bundesliga, 3 in the German Cup, 4 in Europa League) and 12 assists in 48 games, this rise in power did not escape European recruiters. Several Premier League clubs closely follow its trajectory, including Manchester United, which was one of the first to spot Ekitike's potential when it was still shining under the colors of the Stade de Reims. While the transfer window barely opens, the Mancunian club has already started concrete steps to try to attach its services. And according to our information, discussions are intensifying …
Positive contacts with the agent!
Indeed, according to our indiscretions, discussions have accelerated for two days between the agent of Hugo Ekitike and the managers of Manchester United. The English club closely follows the French striker since his debut in Reims, and now seems ready to go offensive. The discussions between Manchester United and the entourage of the player have advanced very well, proof of the concrete interest of the Red Devils. The parties are optimistic after these positive approaches.
The Mancunian club even contacted Eintracht Frankfurt to learn about the price requested to release Ekitike, additional proof of its seriousness in this file. Manchester knows the requests of the German club. But United is not alone: Liverpool and Chelsea remain in ambush, always attentive to the evolution of the situation of the former Parisian, author of a second interesting season in the Bundesliga. Hugo Ekitike's transfer window promises to be animated … and England may well be its next destination.
