From André Silva (29) to Randal Kolo Muani (26) to Willian Pacho (23) and most recently Omar Marmoush (26): Eintracht Frankfurt, his best players have repeatedly released it in recent years. The Hesse not only gets financially into new spheres, but also managed to improve in terms of sport through skillful transfers. This year, the second Champions League participation in club history may be waving. “I have to praise the whole team how we catch the departure of our best scorer Omar Marmoush,” said defense chief Robin Koch now praised his teammates in the “Kicker“-Interview.
“It is not easy. It was clear that no one would reach Omar’s figures from the first half of the season (20 goals and 14 assists; editor’s note). But we always have players who were back in the back, and then slipped through hard work,” said the 28-year-old central defender and cited Jean-Mattéo Bahoya (19), who was on matchday 26) achieved, and Mario Götze (32), “who is outstanding and very important for our team”.
Since the end of last season, Eintracht has increased its squad value from around 240 million to 323 million euros. A larger percentage plus (34.7 percent) only achieved second division champions FC St. Pauli with 59.3 percent of the 18 Bundesliga teams. The squad value of the SGE dropped by Marmoushs 75-Mio. Transfer to Manchester City in mid-January only at short notice and, in the last market value update, rose to a level of EUR 3 million than at the beginning of the year after revaluation for Hugo Ekitiké (22), Can Uzun (19), Nathaniel Brown (21) or Hugo Larsson (20).
“The past season was not easy, the coaching team and many players were new. We had a lot of departures and entrances, a lot had to be found and imported. Now the automatisms work better,” says Koch, who hopes that the future will develop into a position that the best players can be kept from: “If an offer as with Omar and the player also wants to do it, because the club almost has to accept it. Lucrative is also able to understand the Premier League, but I always want to celebrate.
Koch’s future: hope for Champions League with Eintracht Frankfurt
The Premier League was one of the great dreams for Koch, which he fulfilled in 2020 with the EUR 13 million from Freiburg to Leeds. Now, in addition to participation in 2026, he hopes to be able to play with Eintracht Frankfurt Frankfurt Champions League: “When I came to Frankfurt, I said in an interview with Markus Krösche and Dino Toppmöller that I wanted to go to the Champions League. That was my clear goal that I always had in mind. We have enough quality to get there.
This would certainly also be an argument in order to bind the Kaiserslauterer to Frankfurt in addition to his end of his contract in 2027: “What the future brings, you can never say 100 percent, especially at least two parties. But I came up with the aim of staying here for a while. We have already talked about the Champions League. at Eintracht and in Frankfurt very well. “
