Eintracht Frankfurt is experiencing turbulent days. The Italian top club AC Milan lured Markus Krösche with a substantial sum. But he declined. Now, a contract extension is even possible. It was a message that fit the picture. A few days ago, the information went around that Eintracht sports director Markus Krösche had moved out of his apartment in Frankfurt. For one or the other, the alarm bells rang afterwards: moving out, the offer from Milan, no denial from the Eintracht cosmos, somehow everything fit together. And then not. Because Krösche moved, like people simply move, but within Frankfurt. And the lucrative offer from Milan, with which the Eintracht sports director would have earned 40 million euros in four years, according to Bild, was rejected by Krösche. I'm not one to run away, he said at the season balance press conference - and kept his word. With a departure, Krösche would have also destroyed his largely very good work in Frankfurt with a single stroke. The fact that the offer from Milan was made public relatively quickly via Gazetta dello Sport and that, according to Italian media, there was already an agreement, has greatly annoyed Krösche, according to Bild. But the whole thing was really just a flirt. The offer from Milan was real, but there was neither an agreement nor a single conversation between the clubs. The fact that Krösche did not immediately dismiss the reports of the Milan flirt after a day is somehow understandable. After the 45-year-old had to take a lot of criticism after the disappointing Eintracht season - and rightly so - the 40 million euro offer from Italy was a welcome consolation. Freely according to the motto: See here, I'm not that bad after all. But Krösche declined, because a departure with a breach of trust in the middle of the transfer battle didn't suit him at all. But the Milan flirt had already alerted the Eintracht bosses around Axel Hellmann. They urged Krösche to make a quick decision. But not only that: According to information from hr-sport, there are efforts at Eintracht to extend the contract, which is still running until 2028, prematurely by several years. Because there is currently a lot to do: Krösche's biggest task is currently the deal with Nathaniel Brown. The Eintracht left-back has not only been in the spotlight since his outstanding performance in Germany's 7-1 win over Curacao at the World Cup. The officials from Bayern Munich and Hesse have been negotiating for some time about Brown's move to Munich. A transfer fee of 55 million euros is in the room. With the money, work can then be done on the new team for the coming season. The only question left is how long Krösche's current yes will last. The sports director is staying with Eintracht because his job is not yet finished and because he wants to get the Frankfurters out of the difficult situation. After that, however, everything is possible. If the work in this season is successful again, the advances from abroad will not stop.
