Frankfurt could demand €35m for Nnamdi Collins
Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt are unlikely to sanction his departure in the January transfer window. The Bundesliga outfit considers Collins an important part of their long-term plans and have secured his future with a contract running until June 2030.
Although his current market valuation is considerably lower, Frankfurt are reportedly looking for offers around €35 million before considering a sale.
The German club could also seek additional performance-related bonuses and a percentage of any future transfer fee.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United, Chelsea or Liverpool will formalise their interest with an offer. However, Collins’ versatility and physical attributes make him an exciting defensive prospect, and a move to the Premier League could represent an important next step in his career.
