Jacques Ekomié has decided he wants to move exclusively to Hamburger SV and rules out extending his contract at Angers SCO, which is valid until 2027. FT from France reports that Angers SCO is demanding a compensation fee of six million euros one year before the contract ends. FT also reports that both clubs could reach an agreement for a transfer fee of four to five million euros including bonuses. If the clubs do not reach an agreement this summer, it is possible that Ekomié could sign a pre-contract with Hamburger SV in January and then move to the club on a free transfer in 2027.

According to L'Équipe, Hambourg made an offer of 6 million euros for Jacques Ékomié last winter, and he continues to be closely monitored during this transfer window. Angers anticipates being approached about the young player.

Hamburger SV, who were interested in Angers' Jacques Ekomié during the winter, are still monitoring the player ahead of the summer transfer window. The German club has competition, as Schalke 04 is also monitoring the 22-year-old. From England, newly-promoted Coventry and fellow Premier League team Nottingham Forest are both interested. Villarreal is an option from Spain, and it is said that this particularly attracts the player. It is also reported that discussions are progressing well with RC Strasbourg. Angers is aware that it will likely be difficult to retain the Gabonese wing-back, who is under contract until 2027, and hopes to get a transfer fee between €7 million and €10 million. Ekomié is a full international for Gabon with 21 caps. He joined Angers in July 2024 and has a current market value of €7.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
