Although the rumor mill linked Can Uzun with almost every well-known club in the summer of 2024, in the end Eintracht Frankfurt won the race for the offensive player, for whom the SGE is said to have ultimately transferred around eleven million euros to 1. FC Nürnberg. By the beginning of the 2025/26 season at the latest, the investment seemed to have fully paid off. After a strong start, Uzun has now increasingly moved into the second tier and leaving should no longer be taboo.
As “Sky” reports, Can Uzun’s departure from Eintracht Frankfurt is no longer ruled out. Internally, the Hessians came to the conclusion that the Turkish international was “not for sale,” it is said.
Things looked different after the first five matchdays of the season: Uzun scored one goal each and also set up three goals. However, injury problems then plagued the 20-year-old, and Uzun only scored one more goal in the league and had one more assist.
Since Albert Riera took over as coach at Eintracht from Dino Toppmöller on matchday 21, Uzun was no longer part of the starting eleven even if he was fit. In the 2-2 draw against 1. FC Köln, the talent even languished on the bench for 90 minutes. Above all, Riera says the youngster’s work against the ball is not enough. There has long been talk of a “hot topic” in the media.
Eintracht Frankfurt is said to be hoping for a “promising” offer
In this context, “Bild” recently reported that Uzun himself was considering leaving Frankfurt.
According to “Sky”, the SGE bosses should no longer rule out a separation. However, the prerequisite should be a “promising offer”.
The report leaves it open how high a “promising” offer would have to be, but since Uzun’s contract doesn’t expire until 2029, Eintracht won’t be too easy to convince.
