Eintracht Frankfurt have reportedly reached an agreement with Serie A outfit Bologna on a transfer for Arthur Theate.
The Belgian international, according to Sky Germany's sources, is set to be loaned out first, including a purchase option.
Should the Italian club wish to buy the versatile defender, Frankfurt have seemingly set the purchase fee at around €15 million.
The departure comes as no real surprise given new coach Adi Hütter apparently rarely included Theate in his pre-season plans.
After an initial loan phase, the 26-year-old joined the Hessen club permanently for €13million from Stade Rennais in 2025.
Theate looks set to leave for pastures new after making 75 appearances for Frankfurt in all competitions, scoring a solitary goal.
