Luis Muriel nears move to Eintracht Frankfurt after Roma links

Luis Muriel is close to a move to Eintracht Frankfurt despite having been linked with Roma up until a few hours ago.

The Atalanta attacker had been rumored as one of Roma’s main options to strengthen the attack less than two weeks before the start of the new Serie A season.


However, Eintracht Frankfurt seem to have overcome the Giallorossi in the race for the veteran forward.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Muriel will join Frankfurt on a permanent deal from Atalanta for around €7 million.

The player will sign a long-term deal worth €3 million per season.
