U21 international Elias Baum could leave Eintracht Frankfurt after an unsatisfactory season. In addition to HSV, Werder Bremen and FC Augsburg, newly promoted FC Schalke 04 are also said to be vying for the right-back. A phone call could be groundbreaking.
As “Mopo” reports, this will probably take place next week between Baum and the new SGE coach Adi Hütter. After that, Baum wants to make his future decision, it is said.
It is therefore unlikely that Hütter will make great efforts to convince the Frankfurt native to stay at Eintracht. So the signs are obviously pointing to a change of club.
According to the report, it is completely unclear where Baum will go in this case.
All four of Frankfurt’s Bundesliga competitors that have been traded still have a chance of a transfer coup, it is said, citing information from Baum’s environment. Poker is a “head-to-head race”.
HSV coach Merlin Polzin is said to have already shown Baum what role he could play in the Rothosen – an exchange that was apparently very well received by the sought-after professional. But the talks with Werder Bremen, FC Augsburg and Schalke are also said to have been positive from Baum’s point of view.
HSV? Werder? FC Schalke 04? That’s how expensive SGE-Youngster Baum is
The alleged transfer demands from Eintracht Frankfurt represent a high hurdle for the quartet. A sum of three to four million euros is in question. The Hessians should rule out a loan with a purchase option.
Baum only played in five Bundesliga games for Eintracht Frankfurt last season. The statisticians recorded a meager 71 minutes of action.
After Baum already played on loan for SV Elversberg in 2024/2025, he may now be facing a permanent departure from his training club.
