Ekitiké, Chevalier, Eze... The Maurice Revello Tournament graduates animate the transfer market
The 2025 summer transfer window has now closed in most leagues around the world. Many players who once took part in the Maurice Revello Tournament were involved in transfers across the globe this summer. Here’s a recap.
Liverpool splash the cash for Hugo Ekitiké
It was one of the sagas of the summer: at 23, Hugo Ekitiké left Eintracht Frankfurt to join Liverpool. The Reds paid a hefty €90 million to secure the services of the Tournoi Maurice Revello 2022 winner. It has been quite a summer for Ekitiké, who also earned his first-ever call-up to the French national team.
