Ritsu Doan potential transfer to Al Ittihad

Overview

Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad has expressed interest in signing Japanese midfielder Ritsu Doan from Eintracht Frankfurt. Initially, reports indicated that the club had made preliminary contact to identify Doan as a potential replacement for Moussa Diaby. Eintracht Frankfurt manager Adi Hütter expressed a desire to retain the player, describing him as “top-class.”

By late August, reports indicated that Al Ittihad had made a significant offer for Doan, with a potential transfer fee of up to 18 million euros. Financial incentives, specifically the lack of personal income tax in Saudi Arabia compared to Germany, are cited as major factors that could increase Doan’s net annual income by over 1 billion yen. While Doan is reportedly open to the move, Eintracht Frankfurt has not yet approved the transfer.
