Figures behind Milan’s sale of Hauge to Eintracht Frankfurt

Jens Petter Hauge

Eintracht Frankfurt have permanently signed Jens Petter Hauge from Milan after his conditional obligation to buy clause was triggered.

The 22-year-old Norwegian winger joined the Bundesliga side on a season-long loan deal last summer and he’s had a decent campaign with Frankfurt, scoring two goals and providing two assists in 22 league appearances. His season was a little disrupted by muscle injury but now things are looking good again.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, Eintracht Frankfurt paid Milan €2m for the loan and the obligation to buy clause has been set at €8m plus €2m in easily achievable add-ons, as well as another €3m valid for next season.

The Rossoneri have also secured a 15% future resale clause on Hauge, who is now bound to Eintracht Frankfurt until 2025, with an option for another season. This was another good piece of business by Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara as they only paid €4.8m for him back in October 2020.
