British media reported 90min that Paris Saint-Germain has Ekitic's second transfer profit sharing clause.

Paris Saint-Germain was in a risk precaution when it officially sold Ekitic to Frankfurt in April 2024. In its deal with the German club, Paris has attached a clause that they will receive a 20% share of the player's future transfer profit, which may be activated now.

On Thursday, multiple sources revealed that Ekitic had reached a principled agreement with Liverpool on a six-year contract, and Liverpool has even started transfer negotiations with Frankfurt, and the Bundesliga club priced the player about 98 million euros. It is reported that Liverpool's 80 million euro offer has been rejected by Frankfurt, and Newcastle United, who is also interested, has withdrawn from negotiations in recent hours.

If Liverpool and Frankfurt eventually reach a transfer agreement for €98 million, Paris Saint-Germain will gain considerable returns. Of the 81.5 million euro premium achieved by Frankfurt on the French striker, he would have to pay Paris a 20% share, or about 16.3 million euros.

It should be noted that the prerequisite for the 16.3 million euro share is that Frankfurt and Liverpool must reach an agreement on the transfer fee of 98 million euros. If the final transfer amount is lower than this value, the share of the Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain will be reduced accordingly. But in any case, the Paris Club now only needs to wait for the two sides to reach an agreement on the 23-year-old striker's transfer to enjoy the success.
