Noah Atubolu’s move to Eintracht Frankfurt is progressing, with the German goalkeeper undergoing a medical after the Bundesliga club agreed a deal with Freiburg.
Sky Germany reporter Plettenberg said in a social media post today that negotiations between the two clubs had been completed and that the transfer was now underway. Atubolu is currently having his medical examination at Eintracht Frankfurt, the next stage of the move.
The agreement is structured as a loan deal, but it includes a mandatory purchase option worth €13m. That means Eintracht Frankfurt will be required to make the transfer permanent for the stated fee under the terms of the agreement.
Atubolu’s medical examination is taking place at Eintracht Frankfurt while the clubs’ agreement is being put into effect. The move remains subject to the completion of that process, although Plettenberg reported that the transfer is advancing.
The deal brings together Eintracht Frankfurt and Freiburg in an arrangement that initially sees Atubolu join on loan. The mandatory purchase option gives the agreement a permanent element, with €13m set as the value of the eventual transfer.
Plettenberg’s report provides the latest update on the goalkeeper’s situation, confirming both the agreement between Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt and the medical taking place. No further details of the contract were included in the report.
The transfer therefore consists of two linked stages: Atubolu’s immediate move to Eintracht Frankfurt on loan and the obligation to complete a permanent transfer for €13m. His medical is the current formal step in the process.
The information was published by Plettenberg on social media today, with the report identifying Eintracht Frankfurt as Atubolu’s next club and Freiburg as the club involved in the agreement.
