Chelsea launches for an 80 million signing

Chelsea is once again leading an ambitious move in the transfer market. This time, the target is Hugo Ekitike, the forward from Eintracht Frankfurt, for whom the London club would be willing to spend up to 80 million euros. The move is in line with the desire to add a young, explosive attacker who complements the renewal project led by the 'blue' board.

Ekitike has been one of the standout players in German football in the last season. At just 22 years old, he has achieved impressive numbers in the Bundesliga, combining power, skill, and a scoring instinct. His impact at Eintracht not only helped the team qualify for the next edition of the Champions League but also attracted interest from major English clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool. However, Chelsea has taken the lead with a formal offer.

The cost of the operation will not be easy to manage. In addition to the high valuation of the German club, close to 100 million, PSG secured a percentage in case of a future sale, which raises the transaction cost. Nevertheless, Stamford Bridge is confident they can close the deal before other competitors intensify their offers.

Concerning the sports aspect, the signing of Ekitike raises some doubts among analysts, mainly due to the similarity with the profile of Nicolas Jackson. However, Chelsea believes that his ability to link up and his room for development make him a strategic piece for the immediate future. The operation is underway and promises to be one of the big stories of the summer.
