Arrived last summer as part of a loan with an obligation to buy from Stade de Reims, Hugo Ekitike could already leave PSG.
With 273 minutes in legs in 12 games in all competitions, including 1 goal and 2 assists, Hugo Ekitike suffering from stiff competition in his position within the Paris Saint-Germain squad. Indeed, excluded by Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappé, the 20-year-old striker has been forced to settle for just a few minutes of play from the start of the season.
And according to the information of the transalpine portal Transfer market, the Reims native could decide to leave as early as the next winter transfer window to find some time to play in other places. The sports media explained this Sunday that Hugo Ekitike could even go as far as arm wrestling to force his departure this winter. Especially from his coach Christophe Galtier he wouldn’t be willing to let it go mid-season.
PSG transfer market: Galtier ready to block Hugo Ekitike this winter?
On loan from Stade de Reims when it was announced he was very close to Newcastle United, Hugo Ekitike will become a full-fledged Paris Saint-Germain player if the team’s Christophe Galtier finishes in the top two of the French league at the end of the 2022-2023 financial year. However, the club from the capital should sign a check for 35 million euros to confirm the deal. Dissatisfied with his starving playing time, the promising tricolor of the national team could be attracted by a substitution this winter, but he would not have heeded the intransigence of his coach.
Indeed, Transfer market explains that Christophe Galtier would be radically against the departure ofEkitike this winter or at the end of the season. Mauricio Pochettino’s successor greatly appreciates the profile of his number 44 and would count on him in the rotation, especially in the second half of the season after the World Cup. Sergio Ramos’ young team-mate could therefore have more playing time after the winter break.
