Dortmund make contact over signing of Eintracht star

Borussia Dortmund have reportedly set their sights on Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back Robin Koch, with Sky Germany claiming the club has already initiated contact with the player's representatives over a potential summer transfer.

According to the report, Koch would be available for a fee in the region of €18-20 million this summer due to a release clause in his contract, which runs until 2027.

However, any move may depend on whether Dortmund secure Champions League qualification. 

Earning a spot in Europe's elite competition would not only boost the club’s financial flexibility, but also make the switch more attractive for Koch.

Koch joined Eintracht from Leeds United in the summer of 2023 and has since become a key figure in the heart of the defence for Die Adler.
