Foot PSG – PSG: A crazy scenario in Paris, Newcastle in dream
Loaned this summer to PSG from Reims, Hugo Ekitike is not 100% guaranteed to sign definitively in the club of the capital. Newcastle is keeping an eye on the French nugget.
Among the players who arrived at PSG (Carlos Soler, Fabian Ruiz, Nordi Mukiele) two nuggets have joined the ranks of the Parisians. Vitinha and Ekitike. If the Portuguese has already established himself as an essential pawn in Christophe Galtier’s system, the French striker is struggling to find his place among the stars of the team. The former Stade de Reims player was loaned to PSG with an option to buy, awarded at 35 million euros. Nevertheless, the 20-year-old striker could return to Reims at the end of the season. The purchase option fixed in his contract will only be effective if PSG finishes in first or second place in Ligue 1. If this ranking is almost certain for Paris, there remains an area of uncertainty for Ekitike and his future in his heart club. An English club could even take advantage of a probable misstep by the club 10 times champion of France.
Ekitike finally in Newcastle?
According to information from Chronicle Live, the one who registered 11 but the season behind with the Rémois could go to England, to Newcastle if the PSG does not respect this clause of the contract. Ekitike, who almost signed with the Magpies this summer, was finally convinced by Luis Campos’ speech. If Paris does not finish in the top two of the Ligue 1 standings, the Franco-Cameroonian will return to Reims, to his training club, and it is the English leaders who could benefit from it. It would be a real thunderbolt for both PSG and Reims or Ekitike if this alternative were to come true. For the moment, Ekitike has only played 5 games with Paris and has only played 66 minutes. Galtier does not seem to trust him completely to start a meeting while Newcastle is putting big on him.
