Agreeing to join Newcastle for several weeks, Hugo Ekitike plays the watch so as not to close any doors. And the most prestigious of all could just open: The team announces that Real Madrid is considering recruiting the striker from Reims.
Real Madrid rather than Newcastle for Ekitike?
A future great? For his first real season in Ligue 1, Hugo Ekitike made an impression with 10 goals and 3 assists. All while missing 14 games due to suspension and injury.
And beyond the balance sheet, it is above all the ease of the Reims striker on the ground that impresses, when he has just celebrated his 20th candle… In a not so distant past, he would have without probably spend another year with the Champagne club to confirm. But as Kylian Mbapp said, football, ila chang.
Ekitike plays the watch
Faced with such talent, and all the promises that go with it, the interested clubs quickly wanted to close the deal. And in particular the richest of them, Newcastle, recently bought by a Saudi investment fund. The Magpies made an offer that you can’t refuse Reims, amount of €45 million, bonus included. The Champagne club obviously validated, and the player also said yes… before procrastinating. Why ?
For the simple and good reason that the French striker finds himself courted by the greatest European curiae, including the most prestigious of all. know Real Madrid. As revealed by L’Equipe on Wednesday, the Spanish and European champion is the latest club to have positioned itself for Ekitike. Because after having failed with Mbapp, the merengue club is still looking for a striker to prepare slowly but surely the succession of Karim Benzema.
His agent met the Madrid management
For the moment, the White House has not yet approached the management of Rome, but it has done more than take the temperature with the entourage of the player since his agent would have gone to the Spanish capital. over the past few days to meet the Madrid headquarters there, relate our colleagues. The question of Ekitike’s playing time was undoubtedly at the center of the debates, but The team gives no indication on this subject.
A priori, the Madrid management aims to integrate him into the rotation, as Eduardo Camavinga was able to do this season. But places are more expensive and rarer at the front than in the middle. In all cases, the main interested party will decide. On the club side, we obviously favor the irresistible offer from Newcastle, because the competition – made up of Real Madrid, therefore, but also PSG and Bayern Munich – will certainly not offer as much.
instead of Ekitike, which club would you choose? Do not hesitate to react and discuss in the area add a comment…
