Hugo Ekitike has become one of the most sought after youngsters in Europe. PSG and Manchester United are already monitoring the player, but Real Madrid are the latest club to join the list of admirers. According to 'L'Equipe', the forward from Stade de Reims is being tracked by 'Los Blancos', who may make a move for him.

Hugo Ekitike has burst onto the scene and is already wanted by a number of clubs. The young 20 year-old forward from Stade de Reims was wanted by Manchester United and PSG, but now it seems that there is a new contender for his signature. 

According to a report by 'L'Equipe', Real Madrid are now interested in the Frenchman and are keeping an eye on him. Although it is known that 'Los Blancos' do not want to bring in another striker unless Jovic and Mariano leave. Furthermore, they don't want to go all out for a one of Benzema's rivals.

However, Madrid are aware that these oppurtunities in the market can't be missed in the future. Up to now, PSG have offered 45 million euros to Reims who have rejected the offer. The same happened with Newcastle, who made an offer of 36 million euros.

He had a breakout season last year, scoring 11 goals and registering three assists in 26 appearances, starting 16 of these games. Without a doubt, he is a young player who is liked in the Santiago Bernabeu.
