Frankfurt Signs Goalkeeper Noah Atubolu From Freiburg as the Bundesliga Season Starts
The deal includes a season-long loan and a purchase option that can become mandatory, keeping Atubolu from leaving Freiburg on a free transfer.
- Eintracht Frankfurt signed German goalkeeper Noah Atubolu on loan from Freiburg on Friday as the Bundesliga season gets underway.
- Atubolu was key to Freiburg's Europa League final run last season despite the team's loss to Aston Villa, and had been linked with a potential move to Villa before choosing Frankfurt.
- Freiburg sporting director Jochen Saier called the period "very complicated weeks and months," signing Germany Under-21 goalkeeper Mio Backhaus from Werder Bremen to replace Atubolu after excluding him from recent squads.
- The loan features "a purchase option, which will automatically trigger an obligation to buy under certain conditions," Frankfurt said, with Atubolu signing a contract extension preventing a free-agent departure.
- Frankfurt visits Union Berlin on Saturday before Freiburg takes on Backhaus' former club Bremen on Sunday as the new season kicks off.
