Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt is on the verge of losing its next offensive top performer. The Europa League semi-finalist gave his French striker Sebastien Haller permission to join the English first division team West Ham United. That was announced by Eintracht on Tuesday. Both clubs had reached agreement on the transfer modalities on Monday.
If the 25-year-old Haller passes the mandatory medical tests, he will sign a contract with the Londoners. Coach Adi Hütter had already signaled days ago that Haller would not put any obstacles in the way of a corresponding offer. A transfer fee of at least 40 million euros was last circulated.
After Luka Jovic, the storm jewel, had already moved to Real Madrid, Frankfurt’s “magical triangle” would now be the vice-world champion Ante Rebic. The 25-year-old Croatian is, however, also fond of a change, the most likely being a transfer to Inter Milan.
Haller had scored 15 goals last season and prepared nine more. When he was missing at the end of the season due to an abdominal muscle injury, Eintracht immediately lost his punch.
