Eintracht Frankfurt: Barkok to Mainz in winter? – Bundesliga
All right with Aymen Barkok (23). Eintracht’s homegrown player will move to Mainz free of charge at the end of the season, signing there for three years until 2025, according to BILD information.
Barkok consultant Florian Goll finally secured the deal with 05 boss Christian Heidel and his sports director Martin Schmidt.
Or does Barkok even come in winter?
The midfield magician will succeed Kevin Stöger (27) and Jean-Paul Boëtius (28) in the 05ers, who will probably leave.
However, since both want to finish the season in Mainz, according to BILD information, Heidel is still checking whether an immediate Barkok change makes sense.
By Monday, both clubs would have to agree on a deal that would help everyone at first glance: Eintracht would save the salary for the native of Frankfurt, Mainz would have one more option for the remaining games. And Barkok would not have to worry about sitting in the stands for a few more months after he hardly had any chances of being used by coach Glasner.
The German-Moroccan canceled three other clubs for the move to his neighbour: Nottingham Forest, AEK Athens and VfL Bochum were also very interested.
Regardless of whether the transfer is now or in the summer: For Frankfurt it is a sad story overall that another self-trained talent is gone. The people of Mainz have a happier hand…
