Eintracht Frankfurt: Hauge to Gent, Sow brushes off Premier League club | hessenschau.de
Eintracht Frankfurt has found a buyer for Jens Petter Hauge. The Norwegian is expected to gain match practice in Belgium. Meanwhile, Djibril Sow has turned down a lucrative offer from England.
It may not have come as a complete surprise that Eintracht sports director Markus Krösche was the kicker on Sunday told, but at least it was strange. Jens Petter Hauge, who was unable to assert himself in Frankfurt, is loaned out to KAA Gent in Belgium, where he is to gain match practice.
“Jens Petter can play regularly from the start in Ghent, also internationally. The Belgian league is ideal because it is similar to the Bundesliga in terms of intensity and competition, albeit a level below,” says Krösche, counting the advantages of the loan business on. The only problem: Neither of the two clubs had officially announced the upcoming transfer. Krösche’s remarks may be interpreted as a report of completion.
Nottingham knocks on Eintracht
It’s a good thing that Eintracht found a club for Hauge. The Hessians want to get rid of their reservists by the end of the transfer. It is an open secret that Ajdin Hrustic should also leave Eintracht. The Australian has little chance of making an appearance with the Champions League participant. But then there are also some top performers who would let Eintracht go if there was a corresponding offer.
The fans of the Bundesliga club had to read something on Sunday that Djibril Sow is one of them, surprisingly. The Swiss, as several media from Germany and Great Britain reported, was in negotiations with Nottingham Forest. The Premier League promoted team had already agreed on a change with Eintracht.
Sow cancels
Frankfurt should get 20 million euros plus bonuses for the Swiss director. Money that Frankfurt could use after two difficult Corona years. “No player is unsaleable,” sports director Krösche said in the spring.
The unity of their most constant players of the past few years does not have to die out of the court. According to information from Sport 1 the Hessen Sau left the choice. And he opted for unity – or at least against Nottingham.
money is not everything
The midfielder would have earned significantly more money in the Premier League than in Frankfurt, but he would not have heard the Champions League anthem in the English Midlands. Although Sow has stated that the Premier League is a long-term goal in the past, the 25-year-old also said in the training camp that he was not finished in Frankfurt: “It was always my big goal to play in the Champions League with Eintracht.” Whether he will still pursue this goal when a famous club from England knocks on the door in the coming days is another piece of paper.
In any case, the change story about Sow should not be the last to be made public this summer. The transfer window is open until September 1 – and no Eintracht player is unsellable.
