It is reported that following a poor defensive performance, Eintracht Frankfurt are working urgently to sign an experienced central defender with a high level of Bundesliga quality. One candidate being discussed is Thilo Kehrer, a 29-year-old German international with 28 caps and a former protégé of coach Adi Hütter at AS Monaco. It is said that the French club is prepared to allow the former Schalke player to leave this summer. It is also reported that Hütter values him highly and would welcome a transfer.

However, it is questionable whether the transfer would be financially possible for Eintracht Frankfurt, as the club's financial means are limited. Kehrer's contract with Monaco runs until 2028, and his current market value is €12.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
