Eintracht Frankfurt will buy Rasmus Kristensen from Leeds United this summer after his loan spell at the German club this season.
That’s according to SportBILD, who report that Kristensen ‘is to be bought’ once the season comes to an end.
The newspaper cover various players at Frankfurt who are debating their futures at this moment in time, and one of them is defender Elias Baum.
The talented defender is currently out on loan at Elversberg and has been one of their top performers. Eintracht are happy with this and planning with him for next season but it’s debatable whether the 19-year-old wants to stay.
That’s because he knows there is plenty of competition on his side from Nnamdi Collins and Rasmus Kristensen, ‘who is to be bought from Leeds’.
The club are also planning with those two for next season and that means Baum has to decide what to do.
That tallies with recent reports about the Leeds man, with it explained earlier this month that Eintracht were looking to get him on the cheap.
That report stated they wanted to sign the defender for around €6m, so considerably less than the €15m purchase clause they agreed when they initially loaned him in the summer.
Whether they can do that remains to be seen, of course, but it seems they do intend to buy him and there is some confidence a deal will be done at some point.
