PSG have rejected Eintracht Frankfurt’s first offer for Hugo Ekitike. It was said to be a loan deal with an option to buy for around €20million, including add ons. According to Fabrice Hawkins.

Has to be busy, definitely. We have to take care of a lot of situations.Ideally we want things done sooner rather than later. That is what you want, but sometimes it is not possible.

We have to be patient and understand the situation because there are two parts involved – the players we want to bring in and the targets we already have and have to work on, and at the same time the players going out.

For me, the most important part is to try to find the best solutions for our players, because some of them need to play and some of them need a different project.

We don’t want to push anybody. That takes time because you have a lot of people and parts involved – the club wanting the player, agents, us, the player. Putting all those things together and finding the perfect situation takes time.

It is finding the right places and the right options for the players going out, because we want them to continue and to proceed in a good way.
