Eintracht Registers Early Interest in Bayer Captain Robert Andrich

The move signals urgent midfield reinforcement after recent departures and puts pressure on Eintracht to find a stable defensive six before pre‑season begins.

Overview

  • Multiple German outlets, citing Kicker, reported this week that Eintracht Frankfurt has lodged an early enquiry for Robert Andrich while re‑opening consideration of Club Brugge’s Raphael Onyedika.
  • All coverage describes the contacts as preliminary sondierung rather than concrete club‑to‑club talks or formal offers at this stage.
  • Andrich remains under contract at Bayer Leverkusen until 2028 so any transfer would require a fee, and media have quoted Andrich valuations ranging roughly from €6 million to about €10 million.
  • Onyedika is seen as a higher‑end alternative with market figures reported around €23–30 million, which would make him a far more expensive option for Eintracht.
  • Eintracht’s urgency is driven by Mahmoud Dahoud’s exit and possible departures of Ellyes Skhiri and Hugo Larsson, and the club’s choice between a cheaper, experienced option or a pricier younger upgrade will shape their summer business and squad depth.
