Guillermo Varela suspended, told to leave Eintracht Frankfurt after getting tattoo

Guillermo Varela just wanted a tattoo. The problem? Eintracht Frankfurt told him not to get one. But Varela got one anyway and now he’s both suspended and without a club for next season.

Varela has been on loan with Frankfurt this season, but has struggled with injuries. He’s had a good run of form lately, though. Frankfurt seemed interested in turning his loan from Manchester United into a permanent deal. Then he violated his manager’s instructions not to get a tattoo.

Varela’s tattoo got inflamed.

Frankfurt suspended Varela.

Now, the club decided they won’t make Varela’s loan permanent, basically telling him to get out.
