Already in the afternoon, Eintracht Frankfurt sought to commit the former BVB star Michy Bathshuayi. In the late Monday evening, the traditional club officially made the deal. At the Main, the Belgian signed a contract until 2027.
Shortly before the end of the alternating period, Eintracht Frankfurt struck again on the transfer market. As the European League winner of 2022 reported, Belgian attacker Michy Bathshuayi changes to the Bundesliga club. The 31-year-old signs a contract with the SGE until June 30, 2027.
In the afternoon, “L’Equipe” reported that the SGE deals with the 56-time international. RTL/NTV and sport.de reports that Eintracht Frankfurt is looking intensely after a new addition to the offensive. To date, only Elye Wahi had found the way to the Main.
According to Galatasaray, the transfer is three million euros. Due to not more detailed bonuses, this sum can still increase to 3.5 million euros.
Michy Bathshuayi once caused a sensation at BVB
Bathshuayi is now intended to reinforce the attack of the Adlacätäger after the departure of Omar Marmoush. For the veteran, the change to the Main is a return to the Bundesliga. Already in the 2017/18 season, the center forward in the German Oberhaus went on goals. At that time as a replacement of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for Borussia Dortmund.
In his first three games for the black and yellow, the Belgian scored five goals – a feat that no player had previously succeeded in ranks in Dortmund.
Ultimately, Bathshuayi came to nine goals in 14 missions during his loan before a torn ligament in the ankle put the attacker out of action. The time of the former Belgian international ended again in the summer, which still kicked in the heart of many fans of the Westphalia.
However, the now 31-year-old was rarely able to build on the good performance in the BVB jersey.
