Can Uzun has established himself as a key player for Eintracht Frankfurt in his second season at the club following his move from 1. FC Nürnberg in the summer of 2024.
Before the 20-year-old made the switch to the Eagles, Italian agent a transfer mediator George Gardi apparently tried to bring him to Serie A.
“I really like this player. A few years ago, I tried to bring him to Italy – to some Serie A clubs,” Gardi told Sky Germany.
“I have been following him since his youth. I knew he would perform at a high level, and I also closely watched him last year.”
Gardi added that he has high expectations for Uzun’s future development.
“I have great respect for him. I am convinced that he will continue to develop and can become one of the strongest players in Europe.”
Uzun is currently sidelined with a muscle injury that is expected to keep him out until December.
