Overview
- A transfer announced Thursday, July 2, 2026, confirmed that 20-year-old Ouassim Karada has moved from Kickers Offenbach to Eintracht Frankfurt on a contract running to June 30, 2031.
- Eintracht presented Karada as a recruit for its newly promoted U21 side and says he will be sent on loan to a 2. Liga or 3. Liga club to gain higher-level match experience.
- Karada is a Frankfurt native who joined Offenbach from Mainz 05's youth setup in 2022 and made 32 Regionalliga appearances last season with one goal and eight assists.
- Reports put the transfer fee at about €300,000, but local reporting and the Frankfurter Rundschau say the actual sum is lower, leaving the financial terms unclear.
- Kickers Offenbach expressed sporting regret at the loss; the club also confirmed backup goalkeeper Jannik Horz has left, and Karada could face Offenbach again if Eintracht follows through with a regional loan.
