SGE overflower Hugo Ekitiké used the Great Europa League stage last Thursday to submit another application letter. With his remarkable goal to the 1-0, he gave Eintracht Frankfurt a good starting position before the second leg against Tottenham. The Hesse hope that the Frenchman will also bring heroic deeds in the Adler jersey in 2025/26 – and then provide full health insurers.
Many eyes in the trace stadium made a special focus on Hugo Ekitiké on Thursday in the Europa League quarter-finals. Numerous scouts frolicked in the stands to see the Frankfurt striker live in action. Not only him, other players have also been examined by the talent powers, but the 22-year-old is currently the Eintracht star who has the greatest attraction for other top clubs.
The Eintracht managers know exactly about the interest of the competition. Nevertheless, they have the tug of war on its future according to information from RTL/NTV and sport.de far from being abandoned. The SGE wants to continue fighting for its top striker. Remaining will be significantly more realistic if the Hessen qualify for the Champions League in the coming season.
What’s next without Champions League qualification?
However, if even the CL qualification is not enough to keep the offensive star, at least the cash register should ring. The often mentioned 80 million euros are only a guideline. After the famous season, those responsible, according to our information, are now even hoping for a higher transfer.
In the end, however, that would only be a B solution. The clear wish of Eintracht is: Ekitiké is to wear the SGE jersey for at least a year and be sold in the summer of 2026 at the earliest. If the CL qualification succeeds, one is confident that you can also achieve this goal.
Nevertheless, the player’s SGE plans float: Ekitiké would like to switch to the English Premier League sooner than later. At the age of 22, however, he would still have enough time to further boost his career on the Main – and only then go. With the Hesse, that is out of the question, it runs for him this year as well as at the proverbial laces.

He met 21 times in 42 competitive games. To do this, he prepared nine more hits across competitions. A top quota that shows that he is the game of coach Dino Toppmöller. This has shown not least in the remarkable gate in London (Runs in the video above).
In return, the coach is firmly convinced that its most accurate striker will not be thrown off the heads from the headlines.
“Hugo is a young guy, but has already experienced something in his life. He knows rumors about himself and his person. So he can handle it,” said Toppmöller confidently on Thursday, at least until the end of the 2024/25 season, to see the best Ekitiké in the Eintracht jersey.
The coming weeks will show whether another year will be added.
