Eintracht Frankfurt to extend contracts of 2 key players | OneFootball

Eintracht Frankfurt can secure Champions League football with a win against Mainz on Sunday, and with that die Adler are expected to extend the contracts of two players.

According to Sport Bild, Frankfurt want to extend the contract of Robin Koch. The defender’s current deal expires in 2027 but with a reported release clause between €18m and €20m, the Hessen club wish to buy the German defender out of his clause, and work with him long-term.

Koch has played 40 games across all competitions for Eintracht this season and has attracted interest from fellow Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund but a move is currently not a topic for die Schwarzgelben despite a desire to improve their defence over summer.

Although Jean-Mattéo Bahoya (19) has a long-term contract until 2029, Frankfurt also wish to extend the Frenchman’s current deal. Like with Kauã Santos and Nathaniel Brown, SGE are ready to offer Bahoya a new deal on improved terms.

Bahoya struggled in his early days at Eintracht following his €8m move from Angers in January 2024 but has since established himself as an important player. The 19-year-old has featured in Eintracht’s last 10 Bundesliga games.

Champions League prize money strengthens Eintracht’s position

With a guaranteed income of around €50m, per Sport Bild, this also gives Dino Toppmoller’s side a ‘better hand in negotiations’ when it comes to Hugo Ekitiké, who has interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.
