Belgium and DR Congo centre-forward Michy Batshuayi is being linked with a surprise move from Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt to Turkish club Bursaspor, with the deal currently rated at a 32% probability according to Transfermarkt data.
The 32-year-old, who is valued at €2.00m, is the subject of growing speculation over his future in Germany, with suggestions that his situation in Frankfurt could yet open the door to a free-agent departure if no new agreement is reached. His current contract details at the Bundesliga club are not publicly confirmed, adding to uncertainty around the next step of his career.
Bursaspor, who compete in Türkiye’s 2.Lig Kirmizi, are reported to be monitoring the experienced forward as they look to inject proven top-flight pedigree into their attack. Any move would mark a striking change of direction for a player whose recent seasons have been spent in major European leagues, including the Bundesliga.
Born in Brussels on 2 October 1993, Batshuayi stands at 1.85m and operates primarily as a central striker, favouring his right foot. He holds both Belgian and DR Congo nationality and has built a reputation across his career as a penalty-box finisher with strong movement and an eye for goal.
The former Chelsea forward only recently added another appearance to his record in Germany, turning out for Frankfurt with the No 30 shirt in a recent Bundesliga fixture. In that match – a league outing against top-flight opposition played in 2026 – he featured in attack as Eintracht looked to consolidate their position, though he was unable to alter the scoreline in a tight contest that underlined his current squad role rather than guaranteed starter status.
While detailed contract terms at Frankfurt are not listed, the absence of a publicly stated expiry date on Transfermarkt has fuelled suggestions that the club could be flexible over his future, particularly given his €2.00m market value and his age profile. That has encouraged outside interest, with a move to Türkiye framed as a potentially low-cost opportunity for Bursaspor.
Batshuayi’s CV includes spells at some of Europe’s leading clubs and in some of its strongest leagues, with past stints in the Premier League and Bundesliga among the highlights of a career that has taken him far from his beginnings in Brussels. His ability to adapt to different tactical systems and competitions has been a hallmark of his journey to date.
For Bursaspor, the link to such an experienced international-level forward reflects an ambition to accelerate their sporting project in the Turkish system. The financial aspect may also appeal: a striker with a €2.00m valuation and the possibility of moving as a free agent or for a modest fee sits within the profile of the opportunistic deals often seen in this part of the market.
The rumour remains at an early stage, with the reported 32% likelihood underlining that no agreement is imminent and that the situation could still shift depending on Frankfurt’s stance and other interest that might emerge. No formal bid or contract terms have yet been disclosed.
If the move does materialise, it would represent a new chapter for Batshuayi in a different footballing environment, offering him the chance to reassert his status as a leading forward and potentially reshape the latter stages of his career in Türkiye.
