It was reported earlier on Monday that Ritsu Doan was set to join Al-Ittihad from Eintracht Frankfurt before the end of the transfer window.

However, according to both FAZ and Kicker, the Japanese international’s proposed move to Saudi Arabia has now fallen through.

The 28-year-old is understood to have rejected the transfer for personal reasons and will remain with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Doan only joined Die Adler from SC Freiburg last summer.
