The farewell to Rayan Philippe von Eintracht Braunschweig is generally considered a decided thing. But who secures the services of the striker? There is no lack of interested parties.
Where’s Rayan Philippe continues? The striker of Eintracht Braunschweig is on everyone’s lips after another top season in the BTSV jersey. The fact that he will turn his back on Eintracht in summer already seems certain. However, it is unclear to see who the 24-year-old is coming up in the coming season.
The speculation about the Frenchman, who scored a total of 14 competitive goals for the BTSV in the past season and thus had a significant role in relegation in the 2nd Bundesliga, are persistent due to the still unclear future of the fast attacker. According to media reports, at least three clubs from the Bundesliga are said to have extended their feelers to Philippe.
For example, the “picture” reports of a “three -way fight” between Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen and 1. FC Köln. The Pay TV station Sky goes one step further with the 1. FC Heidenheim-and also brings possible stations abroad. However, the broadcaster does not give a specific name in the corresponding report.
Eintracht, however, is likely to play in the cards that the interested parties are apparently in line with Philippe. According to reports, the BTSV hopes for a transfer fee between two and three million euros, which could fill the clammy cash register.
With Mainz 05, another competitor has already jumped off. According to the “kicker”, Mainz sports director Niko Bungert had pushed the bar to a transfer after the contract of Philippe automatically extended by one year by relegation and it was clear that a transfer would be due. The market value of Philippe is estimated by the data portal “Transfermarkt.de” at three million euros.
