Frankfurt on the brink of signing Dōan

According to FußballTransfers information, the transfer of Ritsu Dōan to Eintracht Frankfurt is nearing completion.

While a full agreement has been reached with the winger, Frankfurt and SC Freiburg have also made significant progress in negotiations.

The transfer fee is expected to be around €18million, with only a few details remain to be clarified before the move goes through.

A breakthrough came courtesy of Hugo Ekitiké's move to Liverpool FC, with a chunk of the €95million fee used to sign Dōan.

Numerous clubs have been pursuing Ritsu Doan (27) in recent months, including Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

However, it became clear that the 57-time international would most likely join the Hessen state club who returns to the Champions League.
