In other Frankfurt-related transfer news, Britain’s “Daily Mail” tabloid reports that a plethora of interest from other clubs is the reason Eintracht’s purchase of Japanese midfielder Keito Nakamura never materialized.
The tabloid is now finally prepared to name at least one top-tier German club actively making an effort to procure the Kaiserslautern native. Eintracht Frankfurt are apparently angling for the center back. The SGE desperately need reinforcements at the position following the departures of Evan N’dicka and Almamy Touré.
Several EPL sides, including Manchester United, are linked with Koch. It’s nevertheless safe to assume that the long-time Freiburg professional will wish to consider a return to the Bundesrepublik in order to revive his German national team prospects. Koch admitted as much in an interview this past March.
Britain’s Daily Mail notes that the newly-capped senior Samurai international is also being targeted by the likes of Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Burnley. There are apparently further inquires from France and Holland. The two German “Borussia” clubs, Dortmund and Gladbach, are also thought to be interested.
With such a long-list of suitors, it looks to be a long summer of speculation over the future destination of the 22-year-old. For the time being, it looks as if Frankfurt have been squeezed out. Nakamura saw his estimated market worth upped from €5 million to €8 million in a May transfermarkt update.
