For several weeks now, Ellyes Skhiri has been put in touch with several potentially interested parties from Germany and abroad by the Bundesliga soccer club 1. FC Köln. The Tunisian can change free of charge in the summer and thus freely decide on his sporting future. The track to Eintracht Frankfurt is getting hotter and hotter.
The fact that the reigning Europa League winner is on the 26-year-old has long been an open secret. Eintracht’s sports director Markus Krösche knows that the eagle bearers themselves could well leave several top performers in the summer who have positioned themselves on the top shelf of football in Europe.
Skhiri should therefore be considered one of the preferred candidates in the Main metropolis to absorb potential departures from Djibril Sow or Daichi Kamada.
According to a report by “Sport Bild”, the Frankfurt squad planners around Krösche should now be serious about the Cologne star. Accordingly, concrete talks have already been held about a transfer free of charge next summer, it is said.
Skhiri absolutely set under Baumgart at 1. FC Köln
Above all, the fact that Skhiris’ current working paper at Effzeh ends after the current season and there have recently been no signs of an extension of the contract in Cologne is said to have called the SBU into action.
The top performer at 1. FC Köln was also linked to Borussia Dortmund at the end of the past transfer window. From abroad, Olympique Lyon from the French Ligue 1 are said to have their sights set on the 52-time Tunisian international and World Cup participant.
In the current Bundesliga season, Skhiri is absolutely set under head coach Steffen Baumgart. He was in the starting line-up 18 times in the championship, plus eight appearances in the European Cup and DFB Cup.
