Eintracht Frankfurt could soon lose a key player. According to BILD, Crystal Palace is interested in Farès Chaïbi. The 23-year-old Algerian made 38 appearances last season, scoring three goals and providing nine assists. The club, which finished 8th with 44 points last season, could receive a significant transfer fee.

What’s on the table? Crystal Palace has already signed several players, including Evann Guessand (on loan from Aston Villa) and Dwight McNeill (€25M from Everton). Oscar Mingueza (former Barcelona defender) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (free transfer from Ajax) also joined the Eagles. While no official offer for Chaïbi has been made, the newspaper reports it’s only a matter of time.

Why is Chaïbi a target? The offensive player, under contract until 2028, established himself as a key figure last season with 2,508 minutes played. His departure could provide financial relief for Eintracht, who scored 61 goals and conceded 65 last season.

What does this mean for Eintracht Frankfurt? If Chaïbi leaves, coach Adi Hütter will need to find a replacement. The team, winless in their last four games (0W-2D-2L), could use the transfer funds to sign new players. Their last match ended 2-2 against VfB Stuttgart on May 16, 2026.
