Caillot explains why he pushed back the Saudis for Ekitike

Zapping Our Mondial CAN 2021: The strengths and weaknesses of Cameroon as seen by Richard Naha for Onze Mondial

Multiplying the tracks to strengthen in order to obtain its maintenance in the Premier League, Newcastle had shown interest in the young nugget of Reims, Hugo Ekitike. Only, Jean-Pierre Caillot refused the approaches of the Magpies. For a very specific reason:It is true that many now realize the qualities of the player, but not us. He was trained with us and what he does does not surprise us. Newcastle positioned itself, we discussed. They made a proposal that does not suit us. As we don’t necessarily want to see him go, we set the bar quite high” he declared for Le Quotidien du Sport.

Caillot sets its price!

He then went on to reveal the underside of the Magpies’ offer: “They offered us 35 million in total, but with many bonuses, some of which were almost impossible to achieve. Like for example, winning the Champions League. We want 30 million fixed plus 10 million achievable bonuses” he hammered. In addition, the Rémois would also like a 25% bonus for a future resale as well as a loan until the end of the season. It remains to be seen whether a club will meet the expectations of Jean- Pierre Caillot Business to follow.

to summarize

Jean-Pierre Caillot, the president of Reims, has explained why he refused to sell Hugo Ekitike to Newcastle this winter. The offer of the Magpies was far from the expectations of the president of Reims, with in particular unattainable bonuses.
