The media have allegedly spoken to anonymos sources at Leeds who claim that the transfer could be worth up to €9million (£7.7m; $9.026m).

Sources at the German club say that the fee will be €6m (£5.1m; $6.8m) guaranteed, with potential add-ons.

Frankfurt signed a loan deal for Rasmus Kristensen in July last year and the Danish international right back, who faces Tottenham in the quarter-final of the Europa League on Thursday, has since made a name for himself in the Bundesliga. 

Former Leeds defender, Robin Koch, along with two other player, have played more minutes than Kristensen in a successful season where Frankfurt are in contention for a Champions League spot as they are currently third in the Bundesliga.  

The former Red Bull Salzburg defender still has two years left of the five-year contract he signed, when Leeds paid around £10m ($13.2m) for him in 2022.
