Five Eintracht Frankfurt players free to negotiate departure | OneFootball

Soon-to-be-unveiled Liverpool signing Hugo Ekitiké is one of five Eintracht Frankfurt players not included in the squad for the Bundesliga club’s coming USA tour. Mahmoud Dahoud, Aurelio Buta, Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe, and Hrvoje Smolcic have also all been released for negotiations with other clubs.

The four players listed all featured on Eintracht’s preseason “strike list”. There’s no real trail in the case of former Brighton professional Dahoud. The former German international does maintain an estimated €3.5m market value. Concrete links exist for Buta, Ebimbe, and Smolcic.

Fabrizio Romano reported last week that Smolcic may be moving to RSC Anderlecht. Ebimbe has been linked with moves with Real Betis, FC Sevilla, and OGC Nice. Buta was one of two Bundesliga players reported to be in negotiations with Union Berlin last week.

There’s been no new news on the Buta front, but it does appear as if die Eisernen may be inching closer to signing Hoffenheim defender Stanley Nsoki. French journalist Marc Mechenoua that a loan with a purchase option is being actively negotiated.
