Arthur Theate returns to Bologna on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt
Summary

Bologna has confirmed a deal for Arthur Theate's return on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt, with an option to buy for €15 million. Theate had previously joined Frankfurt on a permanent basis last year after a successful loan stint. His departure from Frankfurt follows a lack of inclusion in coach Adi Hütter's pre-season plans.
