Eintracht sports director Markus Krösche presented to the picture now clear: “We want to keep Ansgar. We have already signaled that to him. He feels very comfortable with us, has developed here and will continue to develop.”
Frankfurt had loaned Knauff from Dortmund for a year and a half during the winter break last season. After he was only used in the U23s at BVB, the right-footed player in Hesse quickly developed into a top performer – in the end there was the sensational triumph in the Europa League, in which Knauff played a decisive role.
In Dortmund, the U21 international is under contract until 2024. For a transfer, Eintracht would have to pay a double-digit million fee. A decision about Knauff’s future is made picture but not expected until spring.
In the direct clash between Frankfurt and Dortmund on Saturday, Knauff will not be part of the game. The youngster is out with a hamstring injury.
