Van de Beek undergoes Eintracht medical

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek is currently in Frankfurt, undergoing a medical which should precede his move to Eintracht in January. The agreement includes a loan for the second half of the season, at the end of which the Bundesliga side will have the option – not obligation – to make the transfer permanent for a fixed fee of €11 million, and another €4m to potentially come in the form of add-ons.

Van de Beek has only made two appearances for United in all competitions this term, amounting to a total of 21 minutes spent on the pitch in both games combined. Manager Erik ten Hag obviously has no place for the 26-year-old Dutchman in his ranks, and a move away from Old Trafford was on the cards for a long time now.

Even before Ten Hag came to take charge of the team, the 26-year-old midfielder found it hard to establish himself as its regular member. The 2020/21 season, his first at the club and his only season without Ten Hag in the dugout, saw him make just four Premier League starts.

🚨🔴 Understand Donny van de Beek is already in Frankfurt, completing medical tests as new Eintracht player right now.

◉ Loan deal from Man United.
◉ Buy option clause not mandatory.
◉ It’d cost €11m fixed plus €4m add-ons.
