Eintracht Frankfurt plans a major change on the goalkeeper position. Kaua Santos is set to leave, a loan or sale is possible. The Brazilian saw a 0:7 test match against FC Brentford and didn't look good. This led to a change of heart. On Monday morning, the responsible people, including trainer Adi Hütter and sports director Markus Krösche, met and discussed the problems on the goalkeeper position intensively.
What's happening now?
The responsible people have decided that a change on the goalkeeper position is necessary. Santos no longer enjoys full trust and should leave the club ideally this summer. A loan or sale is possible. Also, there are new developments with Michael Zetterer. Although he plans to stay, there is an inquiry from England, specifically from Leeds United. Furthermore, there is interest from France in the 31-year-old.
What comes next?
A decision should be made soon, ideally by Friday's matchday. Then, Eintracht will play in the first round of the DFB-Pokal against SC St. Tönis. The responsible people are working hard and exploring the market. A transfer of Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu is still considered unrealistic due to the high price. If the SCF were to reconsider their price expectations (up to 20 million euros), the personal could become hotter.
Markus Krösche wants to create clarity soon
At the age of 36, Lukás Hrádecký could return to the Main. He brings the necessary experience with him in any case. Krösche and his team are currently exploring the market and working hard. A decision should be made soon, ideally by Friday's matchday. Then, Eintracht will play in the first round of the DFB-Pokal against SC St. Tönis.
