Should be backup
Evan Ndicka (23) has apparently made a decision regarding his sporting future.

The fact that Ndicka will actually switch to the Catalans is not yet a done deal. There is talk that Blaugrana should decide by the beginning of March whether to sign the defender – until then Ndicka will wait for the final confirmation. The plan envisages that the former junior international of his country should first strengthen the top club as a backup.
Coach Xavi currently has four trained central defenders in the squad, including Jules Kounde (23), who was last placed on right-back. Meanwhile, the central duo is made up of Ronald Araújo (23) and Andreas Christensen (26), while Eric García (22) is at the back. Barça have only conceded seven goals in LaLiga this season, which is by far the best figure in the five top leagues in Europe – anyway, no other team can boast a single-digit number.

Meanwhile, the SGE is not giving up hope of continuing the cooperation beyond the summer. Sports director Markus Krösche recently said about Ndicka and Daichi Kamada (26), whose contract is also ending: “We are in close contact with both players and have shown them what place they will take at Eintracht Frankfurt in the future. I understand that it’s an important moment in their careers for both players. You need time. You can get that from us too. As a club, we offer a good environment and good general conditions for further development and success. So there is a lot that speaks for us.”
