Al-Ittihad have made a major breakthrough in their pursuit of Ritsu Doan, with multiple reports confirming that Frankfurt have accepted their latest bid for the player. The midfielder is now locked in personal discussions with the buying side as they look to get a deal done as quickly as they can. While key details still need resolving, the player's move now appears to be a matter of “when”, not “if”. Al-Ittihad continue discussions over the move, with no rival interest reported so far to complicate matters. Al-Ittihad look balanced this season - 1.67 goals scored and 1.0 goals conceded per game. Ritsu Doan would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Frankfurt continue to be linked with Lilian Brassier and Noah Atubolu while Al-Ittihad are also rumoured to be tracking Edon Zhegrova, Ismaila Sarr and Karim Benzema.
