Eintracht Frankfurt is threatened with the premature loss of Evan N’Dicka: the Frenchman is being courted by Arsenal and Juventus Turin
Eintracht Frankfurt has played a very strong season so far, despite one or the other performance fluctuation, and is currently even on course for the Champions League. This is a bit surprising considering only seven clubs have conceded more goals this season. Evan N’Dicka has been a stabilizer in defense for years. Hard to imagine what would happen if the young Frenchman left the club. This is exactly what could happen in winter, however.
Evan N’Dicka is with one TM-Market value of 32 million euros Eintracht Frankfurt’s most valuable player. However, all of that is worthless if the centre-back doesn’t renew his contract. This expires in the summer of 2023. A lightning change in winter would not be unrealistic, because this might be the last chance for the Hessians to get a profit out of the player.
Arsenal and Juve are interested in N’Dicka
According to the IMAGE he courts Arsenal FC intensively for the services of the central defender. The tabloid magazine refers to the English daily newspaper Evening Standard. The Gunners have been looking for a left-back for a while but lost out to Lissandro Martinez, among others, over the summer. Despite everything, things are going very well at Arsenal, which is partly due to the defense around White, Saliba and Gabriel. The actual central defender, Ben White, has already had to make a move to the right, which is why one has to ask oneself whether Arsenal FC need N’Dicka at all. It would also be difficult for him to secure a regular place in a functioning team in the middle of the season. On the other hand, the Gunners would certainly benefit from a little more depth in the squad.
According to the report, however, Juventus be interested in the Frankfurt defender. With the troubled Turiners, one can at least say that a N’Dicka would use the somewhat thinly occupied central defense. On the other hand, a move from Frankfurt to Turin was sometimes more attractive than it is today. Ex-colleague Filip Kostic may have noticed this too.
N’Dicka’s future open: “He hasn’t made a decision yet”
Regardless of the current situation, both Arsenal and Juve are two big names that N’Dicka will not easily forget. An extension at Eintracht Frankfurt is possible and the player has also received a contract offer. However, he has not made a decision yet. The same applies to Daichi Kamada, who is currently the linchpin on the offensive and also only has a contract until the summer of 2023.
“There hasn’t been a decision yet on which direction to go. We haven’t given them an ultimatum either. The offer is still available and we’re in exchange,” said sports director Markus Krösche to the IMAGE.
Of course, the situation is far from ideal for the club. Noisy IMAGEinformation, Eintracht would be willing to let N’Dicka go for 15 million euros in the winter if he had already decided against an extension by then. This would be a bargain for other clubs, but important money for Frankfurt that you wouldn’t want to do without. In terms of sport, however, a departure would have significant consequences for Eintracht.
