Kristensen agrees terms on Midtjylland return
Rasmus Kristensen has agreed personal terms with FC Midtjylland as he prepares to depart Eintracht Frankfurt following two seasons in the Bundesliga. The Denmark international has accepted a contract running until 2031, according to Tipsbladet, though the transfer remains subject to final agreement between the German club and the Danish side.
Reports indicate that discussions between the clubs have reached an advanced stage. Both parties are increasingly optimistic that a deal will be concluded, with only formalities remaining to be settled before the move can be announced.
The agreement on personal terms represents a significant step forward, demonstrating the player’s willingness to return to his former club. However, the two teams must still finalise the transfer fee and other conditions before the defender can complete the switch.
The 28-year-old is poised to return to the club where he first emerged as a professional. Kristensen developed through the Midtjylland academy and began his senior career there before pursuing opportunities abroad. The proposed transfer would mark a significant homecoming for the defender, who originally left the Danish club to further his career in other European leagues.
The homecoming would see Kristensen reunite with the club that shaped his early development. After progressing through their youth system and establishing himself in their first team, he departed to build his reputation abroad. His return would bring full circle a journey that has taken him through the English and German top flights.
From Leeds loan to permanent Frankfurt deal
The defender first arrived at Frankfurt on a temporary basis from Leeds United two years ago. The arrangement proved successful, prompting the German club to make the move permanent for a reported fee of around €9.5 million.
Since moving to the Bundesliga, Kristensen has established himself in the Frankfurt defence. His record shows 71 appearances for the club, with the Denmark international becoming a consistent presence in the side during his tenure.
What happens next
The potential departure would see Frankfurt lose an experienced defensive option, while Midtjylland would secure the return of a proven international with substantial experience in both the Premier League and Bundesliga. The lengthy contract on offer, extending until 2031, suggests the Danish club view Kristensen as a long-term asset.
Should the clubs reach final agreement, the 28-year-old would link up with his former academy side on a deal extending well into the next decade. The move represents a notable return to Danish football for an established international who has spent recent years competing in two of Europe’s major leagues.
Frankfurt have yet to comment officially on the proposed transfer, with negotiations understood to be continuing between the relevant parties.
