Borussia Dortmund apparently failed in January with a bid for one of France’s greatest talents.
In the past transfer period, Borussia Dortmund tried to attract the talented striker Hugo Ekitike from the French first division team Stade Reims. That reports Sky Sports. Accordingly, the Westphalia should have made an offer for him. However, the 19-year-old decided to end the season in Reims and then reassess his situation.
There were prominent competitors for BVB: Reims is said to have even agreed on a change with Newcastle United. According to L’Equipe there was a transfer fee of 20 million euros plus bonuses in the room, but Ekitike also decided against a move to the Premier League.
BVB: PSG is also interested in Ekitike
According to the report, Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be interested in Ekitike, which is why the 1.90 meter right foot wants to keep all options open for the time being.
At BVB, Ekitike would probably have been planned as Erling Haaland’s successor. The Norwegian could leave the club in the summer.
Ekitike has nine goals and four assists this season. He is considered a great talent in France and is tied to Reims until 2024.
