Donny van de Beek to join Eintracht Frankfurt in January transfer window
Eintracht will have the option to make the move permanent by paying a transfer fee worth €15 million. However, it is not an obligation, meaning they might choose to send the player back after his loan spell.
A verbal agreement is in place between the two clubs, and the move will be made official once the formalities have been completed in January.
Donny van de Beek has endured a frustrating three years at Old Trafford after signing from Ajax. A lot was expected from the Dutchman, especially after the arrival of his former manager Erik Ten Hag, but he has remained on the bench for the most part, barely being given any opportunity to play.
Now, he will have the chance to revive his career once again in a league better suited to his technical capabilities.
