Eintracht Frankfurt interested in signing Ritsu Doan from Freiburg | OneFootball

According to L’Équipe, Eintracht Frankfurt are interested in signing Japanese forward Ritsu Doan (26) from fellow Bundesliga outfit Freiburg in the summer transfer window. The 26-year-old’s contract with the Breisgau Brazilians is set to expire in 2027.

The details surrounding a potential transfer remain disclosed for the meantime whilst the two German clubs agree a deal, but Frankfurt are eager to bolster their attacking options with Doan when the summer window opens. The Japanese international has impressed this season with 9 goals and 7 assists in 31 appearances.

Planning for life without Ekitiké?

Doan could be a potential target as the Bundesliga club embrace for the sale of Hugo Ekitké (22) in the summer transfer window. The French striker is attracting the interest of several clubs around Europe including Liverpool and the acquisition of the Japanese forward could be an indicator they’re pre-planning for the France youth international’s departure.
