Feb 3 (Reuters) - Eintracht Frankfurt have signed
Belgium forward Michy Batshuayi from Galatasaray for a transfer
fee of up to 3.5 million euros  ($3.62 million), the Turkish
Super Lig club said on Monday.
    The Bundesliga club will pay Galatasaray three million euros
plus a conditional bonus of 500,000 euros, Galatasaray added.
    "Michy Batshuayi doesn't only have a great goalscoring
record, he has plenty of experience because he's played in
almost all of Europe's top leagues, including the Bundesliga,"
said Eintracht board member for sport Markus Krosche.
    "Michy has the necessary robustness and is battle-hardened."
    Capped 56 times for Belgium, Batshuayi has had spells on
loan at Borussia Dortmund, Crystal Palace, Valencia and Besiktas
while at Chelsea and joined Galatasaray last year.
    The 31-year-old scored five goals in 18 league appearances
for the Turkish club this season.
    His arrival follows top scorer Omar Marmoush's transfer from
Eintracht to Manchester City last month.
