Eintracht Frankfurt can count on the services of Amin Younes for the next two years after reaching a loan agreement with Napoli valid until 30 June 2022, with the Eagles holding a purchase option at the end of that period.
Younes came through the Borussia Mönchengladbach youth academy and subsequently played for 1. FC Kaiserslautern in Bundesliga 2 and Dutch side Ajax, where he gained experience in the UEFA Champions League. The two-footed midfielder has also made five senior appearances for Germany, scoring twice.
"Technically gifted player"
“In Amin Younes we’re getting a technically gifted player who’s a very good dribbler and already has a lot of experience on the international stage,” said Eintracht board member Fredi Bobic.
“He can make our game more unpredictable with his pace and attacking qualities. Here in Frankfurt, Amin has the best conditions to get back to his best and to help us further. We’re confident he’ll do that. The fact that Amin has come to us at a time like this and has also made very big financial concessions shows his character, and that he already identifies with Eintracht. I’d especially like to thank president Aurelio De Laurentiis, who made this transfer possible."

Younes has one goal in 26 Bundesliga matches so far, while the 1.68m Düsseldorf native registered 12 goals and 20 assists in 69 Eredivisie outings for Ajax, and also featured in the 2017 UEFA Europa League final for the Dutch club. That same year he was part of the Germany squad that won the FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.
Younes made 21 appearances in Serie A, scoring four times. He arrives at Frankfurt, where he will wear the number 32 jersey, having helped Napoli win the Italian Cup.
