According to consistent media reports, the departure of Aurélio Buta (28) is nearing completion. The full-back is leaving Eintracht Frankfurt five months before the end of his contract. He will finish the season at FC Copenhagen. What will happen next for the Portuguese is still unclear.
A few days ago we heard from “Bold” from Denmark that a change was about to be completed. Now “Sky” also reported that an agreement had been reached. Buta will travel to the Danish capital on Thursday to complete the medical check. He would then receive a five-month contract with FCK. The aim there is to replace the injured Mexican Rodrigo Huescas (22). Therefore, no longer contract is planned for Buta. It’s just supposed to plug the resulting hole.
There have been repeated rumors in the past few months about German clubs as buyers for Buta. Most recently, VfL Bochum’s alleged interest in the right-back was discussed. Instead, we’ll probably go to FC Copenhagen, who have already presented a new player on the right defensive side this winter; The 19-year-old Kenay Myrie came to the Lions from Costa Rica for a little less than one million euros. It is currently unknown how much Buta’s departure will bring in for Eintracht.
In the summer, the player’s move to Panathinaikos in Athens fell through. At that time, there were reportedly disagreements over the transfer fee after the Greeks, according to “Bild”, tried to lower the price due to Buta’s knee injury and surgery from the 2021/22 season. At that time, the initial purchase price was 1.5 million euros.
Buta came to Frankfurt from Royal Antwerp on a free transfer in 2022 and has since made 71 appearances in which he was directly involved in eleven goals. His appearance in the Champions League game against Tottenham on Wednesday is expected to be his last with the SGE. Last season he was relegated from Ligue 1 with loan club Stade Reims. This season, after the failed departure, the competition with Rasmus Kristensen and Nnamdi Collins on the right side of Eintracht’s defense was too great.
