According to Sky Sport Frankfurt made a loan offer of €5 million with an option to buy at €25 million (£21m/$29m) for Osula during the summer, but the bid was rejected by the Magpies. The German club now plan to relaunch their pursuit of Osula in the January transfer window, as they look to strengthen their attack alongside Jonathan Burkardt. The Danish forward has already agreed personal terms with Frankfurt.
Newcastle signed Osula from Sheffield United for a fee of €11m (£9m/$13m) in 2024. He has featured nine times in all competitions this season but started only two of those – in the Carabao Cup win against Bradford in which he scored twice and the Premier League draw against Leeds. He also found the net in an appearance as a substitute in the 3-2 loss to Liverpool in August.
Eintracht Frankfurt were outclassed by German giants Bayern Munich at the weekend, as a brace from Luis Diaz and a goal from Harry Kane secured a 3-0 victory for the visitors. Frankfurt currently sit seventh in the Bundesliga table with nine points from six games.
Frankfurt will be hoping that their renewed bid for Osula is accepted by Newcastle, as they look to rebuild their attack following the sale of Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool. The club aim to strengthen their squad to challenge for a top-four finish and secure Champions League qualification next season.
