Paris Saint-Germain did not really show infinite patience with Hugo Ekitike who over time saw his possibilities diminish in the capital. Enough to encourage him to look elsewhere during the last winter transfer window. Having fully relaunched at Eintracht Frankfurt, Ekitike received a message of thanks from his sporting director.
Between the PSG et Hugo Ekitikethe love story could never really begin. And this, despite his year and a half spent in the capital between July 2022 and January 2024, the date of his departure on loan toEintracht Francfort. A first adventure abroad for the player trained in Reims stadium before his transfer to Paris Saint–Germain. And he validated this leap into the unknown on the telephone with Kylian Mbappé.
Hugo Ekitike chats with Mbappé before leaving PSG
Hugo Ekitike conducted an interview with Sports BILD last November during which the journalist claimed that he had spoken via telephone call with Kylian Mbappé before making the decision to leave PSG. Here are the comments made by Riding.
“We got along well in Paris. But I have no contact with him at the moment. Kylian has enough going on and needs to take care of himself and his career. I wish him the best for that.”
“That he chose to join us was a strong decision and everyone was grateful”
And it seems that the French striker did not make the wrong choice given his statistics displayed at the start of the season with theEintracht Francfort (11 goals in 20 matches). The sports director of the resident of Bundesliganamely Timmo Hardung sent a strong message about the successful and happy marriage at the moment between the parties involved through The Team.
“Ekitike felt from the first day the love that the club wanted to give him. That he chose to join us was a strong decision and everyone was grateful. Everything is done so that the player’s potential is exploited.” It remains to be seen whether the idyll will last until the summer of 2029, when his contract will expire.
