Hugo Ekitiké is on the market to leave Paris Saint-Germain as Gonçalo Ramos will take over the No. 9 for the French giants. At 21, it would be ideal for the PSG striker to play elsewhere to garner starter minutes.
While Ekitiké did struggle in Year 1, there’s still plenty of interest for the Stade de Reims star. RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins reports that Everton, AC Milan, and Eintracht Frankfurt engage in discussions for the young talent.
Frankfurt might have an advantage in these talks due to PSG’s interest in Randal Kolo Muani. The potential exchange could allow both clubs to find common ground.

A loan deal with an option to buy could be the ideal solution that benefits all parties involved. Such an arrangement would allow Ekitiké to gain valuable experience while offering the German club.
Still, no written offers have been officially submitted. The negotiations between the respective clubs are expected to intensify as the transfer window progresses.
It will be interesting to see if any of these three clubs put in an offer as the Sept. 1 transfer deadline approaches.
