Transfer targets

Eintracht Frankfurt rebuffed over Ferran Jutglà

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Mainz 05 have kept their man, and Eintracht Frankfurt go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Mahmoud Dahoud hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Eintracht Frankfurt can pretend not to have heard.

The Jonathan Burkardt question follows Eintracht Frankfurt around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Jonathan Burkardt’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

In brief
