Fabrizio Romano Gives Bad News on Chelsea Pursuing Bundesliga Star With PSG Clause

On Monday, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed the latest regarding Ekitiké and a potential move to Chelsea.

“Hugo Ekitiké is really appreciated by Chelsea, he’s a player they really like, but at the moment the negotiation is not closed at all because Chelsea were asking for information to Eintracht Frankfurt about the player and their answer was that his asking price is €100m,” Romano noted.

“So, that is the price tag from Eintracht, and at the moment that’s too expensive for Chelsea. Let’s see if the price changes or if Chelsea will decide to change their strategies later in the market.”

This week,  TEAMtalk reported that Premier League giants Chelsea are open to negotiating a deal, with a fee in the region of £65 million and £70 million expected to be enough to land the versatile forward this summer.

Moreover, the club sees him as a dynamic addition alongside new signing Liam Delap, bringing both tactical flexibility and long-term upside.
