Manchester United should now refrain from signing Kevin Trapp from Eintracht Frankfurt. As the “Telegraph” reports, the German national team is too expensive from the point of view of the Premier League club. United does not want to pay the 25 million euros allegedly demanded by SBU. Accordingly, the “Red Devils” are now concentrating on Slovakian national goalkeeper Martin Dubravka (33) from Newcastle United. Man United are said to have already started talks with their league rivals.

Trapp has a contract with the Europa League winner from Hesse until June 30, 2024. According to media reports, Manchester is said to have offered him a four-year contract, which the 32-year-old also wanted to accept. Eintracht Frankfurt’s sports director Markus Krösche has no interest in selling Trapp. “Transfer rumors and speculation are part of it, especially at this stage of the season. Kevin is an exceptional goalkeeper, leader and important player. We are not interested in leaving,” Krösche told the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The Hessians are playing in the Champions League for the first time this season (everything about the draw on Thursday). When asked where he saw Eintracht nationally, Krösche replied: “Our goal is to play regularly in Europe. But we know that we have to reach our limit every year and that we may not be able to do it every year. The top four in the Bundesliga – FC Bayern, Dortmund, Leverkusen and Leipzig – are a step ahead of us at the moment.” As the fifth German club in the premier class (a novelty), the “Adlerträger” qualified by winning the Europa League. Otherwise, after last season, the SBU would not have qualified for any of the three European Cup competitions via the Liga. “In terms of budget, we can’t compare ourselves to the big clubs in Europe at all,” said Krösche. “But that’s no problem. We have to establish our competitiveness through our way of working, through our philosophy.”
