It looks like a total sale at Eintracht.
I would rather say after a big upheaval, but is that anything new for Eintracht Frankfurt in recent years?
Here are the stats from the last few years:
2018/19
17 newcomers
18 departures
5 players who were in the first eleven in the cup win against Bayern have left the club:
Boateng, Hradecky, Wolf, Mascarell, Salcedo
2019/20
13 newcomers
18 departures
The so-called buffalo herd has left us completely:
Haller, Jovic, Rebic.
2021/22
12 newcomers
16 departures
Among other things, 28-goal striker Silva and Younes, who was also a regular player and top performer until his break with everyone in Frankfurt.
Also last summer many went and many came. Among others, Hinteregger and Kostic went.
At Eintracht Frankfurt that is part of it.
This summer I also expect a two-digit number of departures and newcomers, but you could prepare for it for a long time.
N’Dicka, Kamada and Sow are three big names, of course, but N’Dicka’s replacement is fixed long before the end of the season.
Should Lindstrom or Kolo Muani, for example, leave us, there would be corresponding transfer fees.
So everything is normal business.
It’s true that there were always players leaving, but the 18/19 departures were easier to replace and there was a lot of money for the “buffalo herd” and Andre Silva on top of that.
This year you lose Ndicka and Kamada on a free transfer, with Muani you want an absolute top player.
Lindstrom and Sow are also serious losses, but they are still replaceable.
You can’t replace Kolo and even taking 120M for the 3 isn’t enough to replace the 5
