Following a remarkable season in the Eintracht Frankfurt, attacker Hugo Ekitike, previously linked to Paris Saint-Germain, saw his market value fly away significantly. His career, marked by a period of indesirability under coach Galtier and a sale in Frankfurt last summer for less than 20 million euros, contrasts with his exceptional performances in the Bundesliga this season, where he has accumulated an impressive record of 14 goals and 5 assists. This dramatic development has led to strong demand and a significant increase in its rating.

With this success, the Eintracht Frankfurt aims to take advantage of this financially advantageous situation. The German club, already accustomed to lucrative transactions following the departures of Randal Kolo Muani and Omar Marmoush, seems determined not to give up its player for less than 80 million euros, although it nourishes the hope of keeping him until the summer of 2026. This strategy demonstrates sound management and a willingness to capitalize on Hugo Ekitike’s talent.

Paradoxically, Paris Saint-Germain, initially involved in the transfer, could benefit indirectly from this situation. When Ekitike was transferred to Frankfurt, a specific clause was negotiated, stipulating that the Parisian club would receive 20% of the added value in the event of the player’s resale by the Eintracht Frankfurt. This provision could generate a considerable amount of money for PSG finances, thus providing some comfort after initially letting a player considered promising leave.
