Martin Hinteregger has made headlines in recent weeks. Eintracht Frankfurt continues to publicly support the central defender. Hertha BSC is watching the Austrian’s situation very closely.
What’s next between Martin Hinteregger and Eintracht Frankfurt? This question is currently occupying many SGE fans. The defender enjoys cult status among supporters. But recently, the 29-year-old caused a stir off the pitch.
A few days ago, Hinteregger’s business relationship with a right-wing extremist local politician was uncovered. The defensive man had previously criticized his employer in public.
“A lot broke up this year. I was told in late autumn and between the quarter-finals against Barcelona that I should go in the summer,” Hinteregger said at the end of May of the Austrian “Kronen-Zeitung” and pushed Eintracht Frankfurt with it in a bad light.
Sports director Markus Krösche then emphasized to “Sport Bild” that Hinteregger was “a very important player”. “He knows what he has in us and we know what we have in him. When he comes back after the summer break, we will sit down together for a clear discussion that will also resolve that. Then the issue is over, and it goes on. I don’t hold grudges there,” said the SBU manager.
Hertha BSC should monitor Hinteregger’s situation
Should Eintracht Frankfurt change their mind, Hertha BSC might be ready for a transfer. As “sports1” reported, the Berliners are dealing with Hinteregger.
Hertha’s managing director Fredi Bobic knows the central defender from their time together in Frankfurt. According to the TV broadcaster, a transfer fee of between three and five million euros would be realistic. “Sport1” even speculates about a possible “bargain” change.
It is said that Hinteregger was not available for Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. Even friends would not get through to Hinteregger at the moment. The contract of the 67-time national player runs until 2024.
