Rumors that FC Bayern are targeting Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt have been rife for days. Now new developments surrounding a possible deal have come to light.
FC Bayern is targeting Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt. The media has been reporting this consistently for days. “Sport Bild” now follows up and emphasizes that the full-back “absolutely” wants to go to Munich. The German record champions, in turn, are said to have made the 22-year-old their “number one transfer target”.
The decisive factor was allegedly a conversation between Bayern coach Vincent Kompany and Brown that took place after the season. The Belgian is said to have explained his game idea and plans to the World Cup driver. According to the report, there were even several contacts before the winter break.
The reason why FC Bayern has increased its focus on Brown is said to be because doubts have grown about Alphonso Davies, who is prone to injury. Kompany is said to have come to the realization during the Canadian’s numerous absences over the past two years that Munich’s defense can function without the top earner.
Eintracht Frankfurt has been expecting a change for a long time
It is said that one can now “well imagine” a farewell to Davies in the upcoming summer transfer window on Säbener Straße.
The resulting gap would be filled by purchasing Brown. Nice side effect: The DFB star would definitely earn significantly less than Davies, who is said to earn around 15 to 20 million euros.
According to the report, Eintracht Frankfurt have been aware “for months” that Brown is leaving the club in the summer. A move to FC Bayern is also said to have been seen internally as a logical consequence by the Hessians.
“Sky” recently reported that a deal for around 60 million euros could take place.
