Prominent winter transfer in the women’s Bundesliga: Eintracht Frankfurt has signed national player Sara Doorsoun from runner-up VfL Wolfsburg.
The 30-year-old defender, who was actually tied to VfL until June 2023, signed a contract with Eintracht for the same term. Doorsoun moved from SGS Essen to Wolfsburg in summer 2018.
There she was used 45 times in the Bundesliga, 20 times in the Champions League and seven times in the DFB-Pokal. She won the championship twice and the cup three times.
Doorsoun: Not enough playing time in Wolfsburg
“Sara approached us with the request to terminate the contractual relationship because she had not had enough time in the past few months,” said VfL sports director Ralf Kellermann. Doorsoun wants to increase their EM chances with the change.
“I’ve been thinking about what my next step could be, after I couldn’t play that often recently and want to be part of the DFB team at the European Championships in the summer,” said the native of Cologne. “Eintracht is exactly the right station for this. Because in the past few years you could see what a great team is growing together here.”
Arnautis: “Both sides wanted the transfer”
The two clubs did not provide any information on Tuesday about the transfer fee for the defensive specialist. Doorsoun is expected to train in Frankfurt as soon as her corona isolation has ended and the sports medicine examinations have been completed.
Eintracht head coach Arnautis said: “Sara brings a lot of flexibility, she can hold both the inside and outside defense position. I am very happy that we were able to make the change now in winter, we have been in the past few years Contact. Both sides wanted the transfer. “
