Eintracht Frankfurt is looking for a new goalkeeper and has reportedly set its sights on Noah Atubolu from SC Freiburg. The 24-year-old is said to be the favorite of the Hessian club, which had initially planned to stick with Kaua Santos and Michael Zetterer but was unimpressed with their performances.
What happened?
Eintracht Frankfurt had initially planned to stick with Kaua Santos and Michael Zetterer, but both failed to impress. The team's coach, Adi Hütter, who recently returned to the club, witnessed a worrying 0-7 defeat in a friendly match against Premier League club FC Brentford.
Why is it important for Eintracht Frankfurt?
Eintracht Frankfurt currently sits 8th in the Bundesliga table with 44 points, 11 wins, 11 draws, and 12 losses from 34 games. The team's recent form is DLLDL.
What's next?
A transfer of Atubolu to Eintracht Frankfurt is financially questionable, as SC Freiburg is demanding a transfer fee of up to 20 million euros. Eintracht Frankfurt's last match ended in a 2-2 draw against VfB Stuttgart on May 16, 2026. The team has scored 61 goals and conceded 65 this season, resulting in a negative goal difference of -4.
What does the future hold?
Eintracht Frankfurt is 45 points behind league leaders Bayern München. The future of Eintracht Frankfurt also depends on the decisions of the club's management to fill the goalkeeper position.
