Chelsea FC are still actively considering a summer move for French striker Hugo Ekitike, with ongoing negotiations taking place between the club and the player’s representatives, sources confirm.
A recent meeting between both parties has kept the deal alive, although no major breakthrough has been made. Despite the lack of progress, contact has not been broken off, and Chelsea continue to explore options to strengthen their attack.
However, a significant obstacle remains: Eintracht Frankfurt are holding firm on their €100 million asking price for the 21-year-old forward, who has shown promise but remains a costly investment.
Chelsea are weighing their options as they aim to reshape their attacking lineup ahead of the 2024/2025 Premier League season.
