Noël Aséko Nkili Secures Permanent Move From Bayern to Eintracht Frankfurt

Overview

• Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt confirmed the permanent transfer of midfielder Noël Aséko Nkili, with both clubs announcing the deal on July 18, 2026.
• Reports place the transfer fee at roughly €12–13 million and say Eintracht have given Aseko a multi-year contract reported to run until 2031.
• Aseko arrives without a Bayern first-team appearance after joining their academy from Hertha in 2022 and spending last season on loan at Hannover 96 where he made about 32–34 league appearances and recorded three goals and six assists.
• Eintracht sporting director Markus Krösche framed the signing as a development move focused on converting Aseko’s 2. Bundesliga physical and running data into Bundesliga readiness, while Bayern sporting director Max Eberl praised his progress and wished him well.
• The transfer continues Bayern’s pattern of loaning young players for senior minutes before moving them on if a clearer path to first-team football exists, and it gives Eintracht extra midfield depth as they prepare for domestic and European competition.
