Overview
- Multiple German and UK outlets reported this week that Coventry City are in advanced negotiations with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign 22-year-old Switzerland centre-back Aurèle Amenda.
- Sources cite an agreed framework that values the transfer at roughly €20m including add-ons, a figure that would surpass Coventry’s previous club record fee.
- Reports say Eintracht are prepared to sell and that Amenda wants to play in the Premier League, which has helped push talks forward.
- The transfer remains unconfirmed because Amenda is at the World Cup and must complete international duty before any medicals, contract signings or public announcement can take place.
- If completed the signing would fit Coventry’s stated plan to strengthen their defensive spine for top-flight competition and could trigger further business as Eintracht use funds for other transfers.
