Markus Krösche is associated with a move to FC Bayern these days. However, the future of the official could continue to lie with Eintracht Frankfurt – in the long term.
According to “Sport Bild”, the SGE supervisory board is considering an early contract extension with Krösche. An agreement is still possible during the summer break, the report goes on to say.
The 42-year-old has been the sports director of Eintracht Frankfurt since 2021. In his first season, Krösche celebrated winning the Europa League with the Hessians. In addition, the squad planner managed transfer coups such as the commitments of Randal Kolo Muani or Mario Götze.
No wonder Krösche is already associated with other clubs. After Hasan Salihamidzic left FC Bayern, his name is traded in Munich, among other places.
“You can’t prevent certain things, including speculation. But I said weeks ago that Eintracht is my focus and that I really enjoy working here,” Krösche reacted in an interview with the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”. “: “We’ve had two exciting years here and I’m looking forward to everything that’s to come.”
“No exit clause” at Eintracht Frankfurt
Krösche still has a working paper at Eintracht Frankfurt until 2025. The sports director has “no exit clause” in his contract, emphasized Frankfurt’s supervisory board boss Philip Holzer on “Bild”.
Krösche is “an essential building block for our successes in the past two years”. “We know from talking to him that he’s not thinking about a change and is only concentrating on his work in Frankfurt,” said the 57-year-old.
With an early extension, Eintracht Frankfurt could send a clear signal to potential buyers.
