Kicker Report: Eintracht still set to acquire Amenda for 2024/25 season
Germany's preeminent footballing publication reports that Eintracht Frankfurt and Young Boys Bern do have an agreement in place for the summer transfer of young Swiss center back Aurele Amenda.
In a blurb published on the magazine's website late Monday evening, Kicker goes on to claim that Amenda will be moving to the RheinMain metropolis in the summer. All that fails, the well-resourced trade journal claims, is an official announcement from the two clubs. Amenda's current contract with the Swiss side runs through 2025, meaning that he can neither join Frankfurt on a free nor be loaned out next year.
A sale is thus the only remaining possibility. Amenda maintains an estimated market worth of €5 million in the latest transfermarkt listings. This amounts to chump change to a club still flush with money following a lucrative autumn transfer window. Frankfurt were able to flash some considerable cash on the recently completed loan deal to bring French striker Hugo Ekitiké to Hessen and have tens of millions more in their coffers.
