Market

Oleksandr Zinchenko puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Eintracht Frankfurt, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Eintracht Frankfurt baulk at the price for Antonio Nusa

RB Leipzig wanted more than $25.1M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Market

Eintracht Braunschweig come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Eintracht Frankfurt did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The dugout

Otávio says Eintracht Frankfurt went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Tempers go at Eintracht Frankfurt

Jonathan Burkardt was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Eintracht Frankfurt

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Eintracht Frankfurt rebuffed over Elias Bethke

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

Market

Eintracht Frankfurt promote Lukas Schwarz from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Lukas Schwarz has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Helmut Herrmann joins the Eintracht Frankfurt first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Helmut Herrmann is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
