# Frankfurt expecting £10m for Willems – still a bargain?

Eintracht Frankfurt are reportedly expecting Newcaslte to pay £10m to sign Jetro Willems permanently next summer.

[According to German outlet Bild, via Sport Witness,](https://sportwitness.co.uk/newcastle-united-10m-option-sign-player-club-starting-bank/) Newcastle have agreed a £10m deal with Frankfurt and the Bundesliga side are expecting to recieve the fee considering his impressive start to the season.

This is despite[reports](https://readnewcastle.com/2019/10/12/newcastle-could-sign-willems-for-under-6m-bargain/)earlier in the week claiming that Newcastle are able to sign him for less than £6m.

### READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT

Is it still a bargain?

When the reports of a £6m deal came out, we at Read Newcastle claimed that it would be a bargain. Does this update change anything? No.

Even though the price appears to now be £4m dearer, it would still be a bargain if Newcastle go through with the deal. £10m for an international left-back who has proven he can perform at Premier League level is a snip, however you want to look at it.

When you also consider that he is only 25 and approaching his prime years, Newcastle could be set to pull off a real coup in the transfer market. This is if Willems continues to prove his worth and signs on the dotted line to remain in England next summer.
