Eintracht Frankfurt could make another big move with a young French talent. A few months ago, the German club offered itself a nice check by selling Hugo Ekitike (23 years old) to Liverpool for around 95 million euros. A new big sale from Eintracht Frankfurt which has regularly been able to promote its offensive elements (Haller, Jovic, Marmoush, etc.) in recent years. This time, the Eagles have another promising and sought-after talent.
Arriving in winter 2024 from SCO Angers for 8 million euros, French left winger Jean-Mattéo Bahoya has already managed to make his mark with his new formation. If he is not a starter and expresses himself mainly as a luxury joker, he has 3 goals and 1 assist in 18 matches and makes big differences in his lane. Able to play on the right side, but also as a center forward or in support of the attacker, the native of Montfermeil has an interesting and attractive profile.
Frankfurt expects at least €70M
Executive of the French U21 team, Jean-Mattéo Bahoya could however have left Germany last summer since the Saudi club Al-Ittihad offered 60 million euros. His club hoped for more for the player under contract until June 2029 and the main interested party wanted to stay on the banks of the Main. Fast and an excellent dribbler, Jean-Mattéo Bahoya enjoys his club even if he complains more and more about his lack of playing time and is experiencing a more difficult dynamic.
His sporting director Markus Krösche intends to keep him next summer for an additional season just like Can Uzun (20 years old), another talent on the squad. However, Frankfurt put a hefty price tag on their player to discourage suitors. According to Sky Germanyseveral English clubs are interested and Arsenal more particularly. The Gunners appreciate his profile while the left wing is often debated within the London club between the irregulars Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard. Thus, Frankfurt is demanding no less than 70 million euros for its nugget. Not yet at full strength, Jean-Mattéo Bahoya is however turning heads.
