A slot machine. For years, Eintracht Frankfurt has been making millions by selling its best players at a high price. A strategy as old as time but it works. Recently, Randal Kolo Muani (€95 million), Omar Marmoush (€75 million), Luka Jovic (€63 million), Sébastien Haller (€50 million) and Willian Pacho (€40 million), to name but a few, were sold for large sums. Last summer, Hugo Ekitike was the big sale of the year. His transfer from Frankfurt to Liverpool brought in around €95 million.
This summer 2026, German leaders, under the leadership of sports director Markus Krösche, still intend to line their pockets. Especially since 11 departures are expected during the offseason. That of Nathaniel Brown (23 years old) will allow you to win millions. Currently at the World Cup with Germany, the versatile left back is close to joining Bayern Munich. All for €55 million. But other big movements are expected. Indeed, in the event of good proposals, several items will be sold. *
Frankfurt will part ways with several players
This is the case of Arthur Theate, whose price is estimated at €20 million. Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth are interested. Jean-Mattéo Bahoya (€40 million), Noel Futkeu (€10 million), Hugo Larsson (€40 million) and Can Uzun (€60 million), who interests several Premier League clubs, could bring in big returns. There will be departures that will earn less money. This is the case for Elias Baum, who has touches in the Bundesliga and who will be sold for €3 to €5 million, and for Eric-Junior Dina Ebimbe, who will leave for a little less money. In Germany, Schalke 04 is cited as a potential base. Frankfurt hopes to obtain €3 million. Like him, Elye Wahi is on the list of transferable players.
Eintracht was counting on its loan to Nice to resell it for around €20 million and limit the damage. A good World Cup with Ivory Coast could have increased his price. But the suspicious betting affair for which he is targeted could well change the situation and undermine Frankfurt’s plans. Remember that the attacker is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Michy Batshuayi, who could leave free before the end of his contract, or even Hrvoje Smolcic (25 years old), who will be sold for €1 to €1.5 million to Çorum FK, are also among the eleven players leaving. These could bring in around €255 million this summer.
