Rasmus Kristensen Set to Return to Midtjylland as Eintracht Signs Malik Pimpong

Reported transfer fees would make Kristensen Midtjylland’s record signing and reflect Eintracht’s shift toward younger recruits.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Monday that Eintracht Frankfurt has agreed in principle to sell right‑back Rasmus Kristensen to FC Midtjylland after the player reportedly completed a medical.
  • Eintracht is said to receive about €6 million for Kristensen, a fee many reports note equals what Frankfurt paid previously and would be a club transfer record for Midtjylland.
  • Eintracht has reportedly secured 18‑year‑old Malik Pimpong from Midtjylland on a multi‑year deal, but outlets disagree on the price with figures ranging roughly from €2.5–4 million including bonuses.
  • Kristensen’s exit removes a recognised leader on and off the pitch and is described as a private, family‑driven decision that fits into a wider summer overhaul of Eintracht’s defensive and midfield ranks.
  • Clubs expect formal announcements soon; the deals signal Eintracht’s strategy to invest in youth while supporters and coaches prepare for changes in squad hierarchy and minutes for younger players.
