Hugo Ekitike, the 21-year-old forward from Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to leave the club during this summer transfer window. Several teams, including Frankfurt, West Ham, Everton, and AC Milan, have expressed interest in the player.
According to the latest information shared by Sky Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the Italian club is currently in negotiations to secure the loan of this young talent, with the intention of positioning him in competition with Olivier Giroud.
However, there are obstacles in the way of this agreement. Paris Saint-Germain would prefer a mandatory purchase option in the contract, while AC Milan is considering only an option to buy.
AC Milan is not in a position to cover Ekitike’s entire salary. This situation complicates matters for the Italian club, especially considering the strong competition in the transfer market. The outcome of these negotiations remains uncertain, and Ekitike’s future seems surrounded by various considerations and challenges.
