Eintracht Frankfurt make first bid for Rennes’ Arnaud Kalimuendo | OneFootball

According to Fabrizio Romano, Eintracht Frankfurt have made their first official offer to Rennes for Arnaud Kalimuendo (21). The Bundesliga club’s first bid for the PSG academy graduate is a loan until the end of the season which would then see them be forced to sign the Frenchman permanently with a mandatory purchase clause.

The mandatory purchase would be worth a total €23m with loan fees and bonuses included, according to Fabrizio Romano. Frankfurt are keen to recruit a striker in the January transfer window to replace Randal Kolo Muani. The German club also showed an interest in signing Hugo Ekitiké from PSG in the summer window but found their efforts rebuffed by the former Reims man.
