Burkardt has been associated with Eintracht for a long time. According to media reports, both clubs are said to have agreed on the attacker’s transfer. Accordingly, it should be a sum of around 25 million euros. Burkardt still has a contract in Mainz until 2027.
“If a transfer is perfect, we announced it. We have not announced anything, so nothing is perfect. What that is and why and why? That is the responsibility of the negotiating partner,” said Heidel.
Eintracht Braunschweig has signed midfielder Mehmet Can Aydin. As the club announced on Wednesday, the 23-year-old switched to the Lower Saxony free of charge and signed until 2027. Most recently, Aydin had played with league competitor Schalke 04, where his contract had not been extended.
“Mehmet can play on the right rail, but also play in the center of the half positions and has a lot of mentality,” said sports manager Benjamin Kessel: “He leaves his heart on the pitch, can go a high level of intensity and is variable with the ball. In the conversations with us, he showed how much he burns with us.”
