Eintracht Frankfurt are prepared to sell striker Noel Futkeu this summer, with a price tag of up to €8 million, according to sources within the club. The 23-year-old recently returned to Frankfurt following a successful loan spell at Greuther Fürth, but is not expected to feature in their first-team plans. A decision regarding his departure has already been made between the club and the player’s representatives, though no formal offers have yet been received.
Futkeu enjoyed a prolific 2025-26 season with Fürth, finishing as the 2.Bundesliga’s top scorer with 19 goals and 5 assists. This form has significantly raised his profile, and Frankfurt are hoping to capitalise on that interest. While no bids have materialized so far, several Bundesliga clubs have previously been linked with the Essen native.
Hamburger SV have been reported as leading the chase for Futkeu, with Werder Bremen, FC Schalke 04, and Borussia Mönchengladbach also expressing interest. Transfermarkt currently values Futkeu at approximately €7.5 million, reflecting his strong performance last season and potential for growth. He signed for Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 from Alemannia Aachen, but has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter in Hesse.
Frankfurt’s willingness to sell Futkeu suggests they are confident in their attacking options for the upcoming season, potentially with the arrival of new signings or a change in tactical approach. For Futkeu, a move to one of the interested clubs would offer the opportunity to play regular first-team football in the Bundesliga and continue his development as a goalscorer. The striker will be hoping to secure a transfer quickly to avoid any disruption to his pre-season preparations.
