After featuring just five times for Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2025/26 season, Elias Baum could potentially leave the club this summer.

According to Hamburger Morgenpost, the 20-year-old has several suitors, with Hamburger SV, FC Augsburg, Werder Bremen and Schalke 04 all said to be interested.

However, whether Baum will actually leave Eintracht Frankfurt will depend on a meeting with the club’s new head coach Adi Hütter next week.

Currently, Eintracht are open to letting the young defender leave, but that could change if he is part of Hütter’s plans.

Baum impressed on loan at SV Elversberg in the 2024/25 season, scoring three goals and providing seven assists in 33 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga.

He has featured four times for Germany’s U21 national team.
