Eintracht Frankfurt will receive €25m for Hugo Larsson. The obligatory purchase clause in the Swedish midfielder's loan deal with Fulham has been triggered following his first appearance for the London club, making his transfer permanent next summer.
The 22-year-old moved to England on loan in early September, with the agreement containing a mandatory buy option dependent on certain conditions. Those conditions have now been met, with Larsson's first competitive outing for Fulham understood to have activated the clause. The Premier League side is now obligated to pay the agreed fee to the Bundesliga club.
Deal Includes Sell-On Clause
Frankfurt has further protected its interests in the deal. The German club retains a 15 per cent sell-on clause for any future profit Fulham might make on Larsson. Should the Londoners sell him on for a higher fee, a portion would flow back to the Main. This concludes Larsson's three-year spell at Eintracht Frankfurt, during which he made 119 competitive appearances, scoring ten goals and providing seven assists.
Upon his arrival in England, Larsson expressed his delight. "It's a very proud moment for me and my family, I feel honoured to be here," the midfielder said. Since his move, he has made one start in the EFL Cup and three late substitute appearances in the Premier League for Fulham.
The financial windfall arrives at a good time for Frankfurt. The proceeds can be used for upcoming squad planning as the team, under coach Dino Toppmöller, competes for European places in the Bundesliga. The €25m fee represents significant successful business for the club, which signed Larsson from Malmö FF in 2023.
