Eintracht Frankfurt: Durosinmi transfer failed? Problems with the medical check

Consistent reports

The transfer of storm talent Rafiu Durosinmi to Eintracht Frankfurt was actually considered almost certain for weeks, but is now in danger of failing on the home stretch. Contrary to initial assumptions, the torn knee ligament he suffered in October could be the deciding factor in the 21-year-old Nigerian staying with Viktoria Pilsen for the time being. According to consistent media reports, there were abnormalities during Durosinmi’s medical check at Eintracht on Tuesday that question whether the overall financial package is appropriate.

If the transfer had gone through, Pilsen would have made a huge transfer profit. After a six-month loan, the six-time Czech champions signed Durosinmi from MFK Karvina in the summer for 750,000 euros. The attacker, who was also linked to VfL Wolfsburg, had signed until 2026.

Instead of Durosinmi: Will Eintracht Frankfurt bring in Kalajdzic and Becker?

In addition to Durosinmi, Eintracht is also looking at former Stuttgart player Sasa Kalajdzic (26), who reportedly wants to move to the Main on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers. But the transfer is not yet perfect. Sheraldo Becker (28) from Union Berlin, whose contract expires at the end of the season, was also recently traded. Lucas Alario (31), who is about to move to Internacional Porto Alegre, will probably leave Frankfurt.
