Eintracht reportedly in advanced talks to sign Belgium international

Eintracht Frankfurt are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Belgian international Arthur Theate from Stade Rennes.

Having sold Willian Pacho to Paris Saint-Germain, Eintracht Frankfurt are yet to sign a replacement for the centre-back.

Now, according to Le Parisien and Sky Germany, the Bundesliga side are in talks to sign Arthur Theate from Stade Rennes.

According to Sky, Eintracht are close to a verbal agreement with the 24-year-old Belgian international.

However, the sticking point could be the agreement on a transfer fee with Rennes, with Frankfurt reportedly willing to pay €10-12 million for the defender.

Theate has made a total of 82 appearances for Rennes, scoring eight goals and providing one assist.
