After fighting his way back from a cruciate ligament tear injury, Kauã Santos played five games for Eintracht Frankfurt before losing his spot in goal to Michael Zetterer in mid-October due to underwhelming performances.

The 22-year-old has not featured since, but Eintracht Frankfurt have repeatedly emphasised that they have high expectations for the Brazilian goalkeeper in the future.

Now, the club may face a tough decision: whether to keep Santos or let him go, with Foot Mercato reporting that Saudi Arabian side Al Qadsiah are prepared to pay €40 million for him. Naturally, the move would only take place if Santos agreed to it.

Currently, former VfL Wolfsburg goalkeeper Koen Casteels serves as the number one at Al Qadsiah.
