Eintracht Frankfurt has been linked with a potential move for PSV forward Esmir Bajraktarevic. The player is allowed to leave the Dutch club and wants to do so in the coming days.
Elfrink, who writes for Eindhovens Dagblad, stated that Eintracht Frankfurt is among the clubs with smoldering interest in the 21-year-old. However, the Bundesliga side has not yet made a formal approach. The situation appears fluid and could develop in multiple directions. Bajraktarevic's potential departure is also connected to the future of Ouaissa at PSV.
What role would Bajraktarevic play for Frankfurt?
Esmir Bajraktarevic is an attacking midfielder or winger. For Eintracht Frankfurt, he would represent an option to bolster their offensive lines. The team, managed by Dino Toppmöller, finished the previous Bundesliga season in eighth place with 44 points. Their record from 34 matches was 11 wins, 11 draws, and 12 losses. A goal difference of minus four, with 61 scored and 65 conceded, indicates room for improvement at both ends of the pitch.
The Eagles ended the campaign 45 points behind champions Bayern Munich. A player of Bajraktarevic's profile could help bridge that gap in the future. The current squad planning can be monitored on our squad page.
What is the current state of the transfer?
According to Elfrink's information, Eintracht Frankfurt has not yet made a concrete move. The interest is described as 'smoldering.' This means the club's decision-makers, including sporting director Markus Krösche, are monitoring the situation closely but have not initiated binding steps. A transfer is therefore far from certain. Should the situation regarding Ouaissa at PSV become clearer, the pace could pick up.
Many factors influence a potential deal. These include PSV's asking price, the player's salary demands, and competition from other interested clubs. The exact size of any potential transfer fee is currently unknown.
What does this mean for the upcoming fixtures?
Regardless of the transfer speculation, the team must focus on its next competitive match. On August 29, 2026, Eintracht Frankfurt travels to face Bundesliga rivals Union Berlin. Berlin sits in 11th place ahead of this fixture. It is an important away game in the early stage of the season. All match dates can be found on our fixtures page.
The team's final five matches of the last season yielded the form DLLDL. The squad will be eager to put that sequence behind them and start the new campaign with a positive result in Berlin. A look at the current standings shows the tight nature of the Bundesliga's mid-table, where every point matters.
What happens next?
The coming days will reveal whether Eintracht Frankfurt's interest in Esmir Bajraktarevic turns into concrete negotiations. The club's leadership typically acts prudently in the transfer market. Meanwhile, sporting preparations for the clash with Union Berlin continue. For the fans, it remains to be seen if the attack will be strengthened further before the season begins.
