With Union in the MLS Cup final
Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt is behind transfer market-Information interested in signing Philadelphia Union talent Paxten Aaronson. The talks between the Hessians and the 19-year-old midfielder are at an advanced stage, with a transfer fee of 4 million euros plus possible bonuses in the room, the portal “MLSSoccer.com” is now also reporting.
For the Frankfurters, who moved into the Champions League round of 16 during the week, Aaronson could become a backup on the offensive in the long term in the event of a possible departure of Daichi Kamadas, whose contract expires at the end of the season and who is said to have rejected offers of an extension to date.
The USA U20 international made 23 appearances and scored one goal in the MLS season. The final of the MLS Cup against LAFC (Saturday, from 9 p.m. in the TM live ticker) will probably be the last game for the right footer in the Philadelphia jersey. Rumors have been circulating for some time that Paxten could follow his brother Brenden Aaronson (Leeds United) to Europe – in Ernst Tanner Union have a German sporting director with strong ties to the Bundesliga. In a recent conversation with “MLSSoccer.com”, he revealed that negotiations in German were a great advantage when it came to selling Brenden Aaronson to Red Bull Salzburg for a club-record sum.
In the talks with Frankfurt’s sports director Markus Krösche, Tanner can now use them again to negotiate a deal. Like Tanner, Krösche also has a past in the Red Bull system and is familiar with the MLS through the New York Red Bulls.
