Farewell from Frankfurt

Transfer perfect: Kevin Trapp changes to France

There have been rumors for days, now it is official: Kevin Trapp is leaving the Bundesliga towards France.

Kevin Trapp leaves Eintracht Frankfurt and hires at FC Paris. The 35-year-old goalkeeper and captain of the Hessian Bundesliga club receives a contract until 2028 at the new-rich promoted promotion of Ligue 1, as the French said. Both clubs did not provide any information about the transfer fee. Trapp’s contract in Frankfurt ran until summer 2026.

As various media reported in advance, there have been talks between Trapp and Paris for weeks. “We all find it difficult to say goodbye to Kevin Trapp – mostly for him,” said Frankfurt sports director Markus Krösche: “Because of his achievements and merits, it was a matter of course for us to meet his change of change.”

Trapp came to Eintracht from 1st FC Kaiserslautern in summer 2012. After his detour to Paris Saint-Germain, he returned to the Hesse, initially as a loan player. In 2019 he then switched to the SGE, with which he won the Europa League in 2022 and qualified for the Champions League for the first time. He played 383 competitive games for Eintracht.

For Trapp it is the return to his adopted home, where he had lived as a PSG player between 2015 and 2018. The goalkeeper has an apartment, its fiancé, top model Izabel Goulart, lives there in the Seine metropolis. Trapp also speaks French. Therefore, the intensive advertisement of the new -rich club of owner Bernard Arnault met with open ears. Arnault is considered ambitious, wants to establish FC in Europe.

Trapp should help. Especially since his regular place at Eintracht was anything but safe. The young Brazilian Kaua Santos belongs to the future, the club is convinced of the 22-year-old. Trapp simply had no desire for an impending bank place.

It is open whether Frankfurt will strike again on the transfer market. Werder Bremen’s regular keeper Michael Zetterer brought various media into play. In the first DFB Cup round at FV Engers (5-0) in Koblenz, Jens Grahl had guarded the goal because Kaua Santos was still laboratory to the consequences of a cruciate ligament tear. He is on the way to a comeback, could be an alternative after the international break in early September.
