Man Utd passes on opportunity to sign PSG striker Hugo Ekitike with transfer deadline approaching

Introduction to the article
Manchester United has reportedly turned down the opportunity to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Hugo Ekitike. The transfer window is closing, and clubs are rushing to make last-minute additions.

Man Utd’s Rejection of PSG’s Proposal

Despite their struggles this season, reports claim that Manchester United has no interest in signing the 21-year-old French player. PSG had contacted United and other clubs to offer them a deal for Ekitike, but it seems the English team was not willing to participate in the proposed deal.

Ekitike’s Previous Moves

Ekitike moved to PSG on loan from Reims in 2022 after previously rejecting a move to Newcastle in the Premier League. His initial transfer to PSG was influenced by a meeting with Luis Campos, an advisor to the club, which convinced him to join PSG despite having been courted by Newcastle.

Ekitike’s Struggles at PSG

Ekitike’s move to PSG has not gone as planned, as he has scored only three goals in 26 top-flight appearances and has been training away from the squad. His lack of game time could lead to a move to Frankfurt, who are unwilling to meet PSG’s asking price for Ekitike.
