VfB Stuttgart: Konstantinos Mavropanos candidate at Eintracht Frankfurt?

Probably wants to leave VfB

With a view to his sporting future, the courted Konstantinos Mavropanos recently emphasized that he could not say what “will be in the future”. Instead, he said he was “full” of thoughts at VfB Stuttgart. According to reports, the 25-year-old defender wants to leave the Swabians in the summer – and now another interested party has apparently appeared. As the “Picture“ reported, the Greek is a candidate at Eintracht Frankfurt.

According to the report, there has not yet been a direct exchange between the two clubs, but Mavropanos should be able to imagine a move to league rivals. The defensive player beckons the position of defense chief, which appears to be vacant for the coming season due to the expiring contracts of central defenders Evan Ndicka (23), Almamy Touré (26) and veteran Makoto Hasebe (39). In particular, Ndicka, with a market value of 32 million euros the second most valuable professional in the squad, is about to say goodbye, he is said to have recently agreed on a free transfer with FC Barcelona.

The SGE seems prepared and has probably already secured reinforcements for the defense in Willian Pacho (21) from Royal Antwerp, a fee of 9 million euros plus bonuses is in the room. According to “Bild”, Eintracht wants to continue to do so and hopes for a purchase price of Mavropanos below the market value of 15 million euros. Inter Milan is said to have offered the same amount in winter and received a rejection from Stuttgart. Meanwhile, not only the Italians, but also Atlético Madrid have been associated with the international. In addition, the name VfL Wolfsburg is circulating in the TM rumor mill.

SGE trainer Oliver Glasner also knows that the right foot arouses desires. Mavropanos and teammate Hiroki Ito (23) are central defenders “who want to have what feels like three quarters of the Bundesliga,” he said before the direct duel on Saturday (3:30 p.m.). Mavropanos is facing his 78th appearance for VfB since arriving in 2020, when he first moved from Arsenal to Stuttgart on loan and for a fee of €750,000. Last summer, the Swabians then signed the defensive specialist for 3.2 million euros and provided him with a contract until 2025.
