Michy Batshuayi joins Abha Club on free after Frankfurt exit | OneFootball

Michy Batshuayi has left Eintracht Frankfurt to join newly promoted Saudi side Abha Club on a free transfer. Abha Club confirmed the deal.

The Belgian forward made 21 appearances for Frankfurt in all competitions, scoring four goals across a season and a half.

He arrived in February 2025 from Turkish side Galatasaray for a fee of up to €3.5 million. The move was meant to bolster the attack with Omar Marmoush heading to Manchester City, but Batshuayi struggled to make an impact.

Injuries limited him for much of last season as Frankfurt slid to eighth in the Bundesliga. He managed only one league start, did not feature after December, and in January the club brought in Younes Ebnoutalib.

With Frankfurt seeking to free up funds, the 32-year-old became a sale candidate. Several Saudi clubs were reportedly interested and Abha won the race, having already signed former Leipzig and Dortmund talent Abdou Diallo earlier this summer.

Frankfurt was his second spell in the Bundesliga after a 2018 loan at Borussia Dortmund, where he scored nine goals before returning to England.
