As the German national soccer team enters the hot phase of preparation for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada, another topic is dominating the headlines: As was revealed on Thursday, left-back Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt has agreed on a move with FC Bayern. The SGE star himself commented on the rumors about his future that evening.
“So I’m fully concentrating on the World Cup. So I won’t comment on that today,” said the 22-year-old in the evening at a DFB press conference two days before Germany’s World Cup dress rehearsal in Chicago. “It doesn’t affect me. It’s all about the World Cup at the moment. That’s what I’m taking care of now.”
“Sky” previously reported on the agreement between Nathaniel Brown and FC Bayern on a contract until 2031. I have already expressed my desire to make the move to Munich. Despite other requests, he only wants to move to Säbener Straße. In the meantime, the transfer fee could still become a problem.
FC Bayern: Will the transfer fail due to the transfer fee?
Because as “Sky” transfer expert Florian Plettenberg reported on Thursday in “Transfer Update – The Show”, FC Bayern is only prepared to transfer around 50 million euros to Eintracht Frankfurt for the national player. It is still unclear whether the SGE will be fobbed off with such an offer. According to information from “Bild”, the Hessians are demanding between 60 and 65 million euros.
Meanwhile, the people of Munich are said to have already picked up the phone to start negotiations with their Bundesliga competitor. It still seems unclear whether the differences in price expectations can be overcome. It is entirely conceivable that the Brown change will collapse due to a lack of agreement between the traditional clubs from Munich and Frankfurt.
The Amberg native played 33 league games for the SGE last season and demonstrated his forward drive with four goals and assists each. Brown also played eight times in the Champions League and collected two assists.
