Arthur Theate stated that he is happy at his current club and has honestly never loved a club more than Eintracht. Theate said that although he has loved all his clubs, it was never like at Eintracht, and he has often said that he wanted to stay. According to Theate, the club has everything for him, including the fans, the team, and the infrastructure. He also said that in the summer, he blocked all approaches that came from other clubs. His good performances are said to have specifically led to Atletico Madrid considering him, but the 31-time Belgian international was not impressed by the interest.

Transferwatcher Sacha Tavolieri reported that Atlético Madrid, under the management of Diego Simeone, has already initiated inquiries about a potential summer transfer for Arthur Theate. The Spanish club is said to be interested in acquiring Theate, who has been an outstanding performer for Eintracht Frankfurt, contributing to their third-place finish in the Bundesliga and securing a spot in the Champions League. Despite Frankfurt's intention to retain Theate, only a significant offer might convince them to sell. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr from Saudi Arabia, with Cristiano Ronaldo on their roster, is also keeping an eye on the situation and has shown renewed interest in the Belgian player.
