Eintracht Frankfurt is apparently dealing with the signing of Thilo Kehrer. For the 28-time national player, a return to the Bundesliga could be interesting not only at the club level. The DFB team has been looking for convincing alternatives on the right defensive side for a long time.
What does the possible transfer mean for Eintracht Frankfurt?
The Eintracht is looking for an experienced central defender, but Kehrer can do much more than just help out in the defense center. He has regularly defended on the right during his career and can be used on the left side if needed.
What is the current situation like at Eintracht Frankfurt?
Eintracht Frankfurt finished the 2025 season in 8th place in the Bundesliga with 44 points, 11 wins, 11 draws, and 12 losses. The last game ended 2-2 against VfB Stuttgart on May 16, 2026.
What chances does Kehrer have of being nominated for the DFB?
Kehrer would also be in the spotlight every week with a move to Frankfurt. The Bundesliga alone would not be an argument for a nomination. Decisive would be his performances, his role at Eintracht Frankfurt, and the question of which position Hütter would primarily use him in.
What does the coach say about the possible signing?
Coach Adi Hütter knows the 29-year-old very well: at the beginning of 2024, he brought him to AS Monaco on loan from West Ham United, who then signed the defender permanently. Kehrer is still under contract in the principality until 2028 and was recently part of the regular squad.
