Eintracht Frankfurt reportedly face a challenging season off the pitch as top clubs across Europe monitor the form of Nathaniel Brown.
Last year, Eintracht paid a reported fee of €3million to sign Brown from FC Nuremberg. The young left-back did very well in his first Bundesliga season, making a total of 33 appearances in all competitions, with 10 goal contributions (three goals, seven assists) to his name. He missed the opening seven games of the Bundesliga campaign as he adapted to the new surroundings, and then, having made one appearance off the bench, he became a regular member of the starting XI.
Such a breakthrough season in one of Europe’s top leagues was never likely to go unnoticed, and according to Bild, Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid are all keeping tabs on the 22-year-old. Eintracht have no intention of selling him halfway through the season, but they will reluctantly be open to offers next summer, setting the asking price at no less than €60million.
Brown’s contract runs until 2030 and has no release clause.
