According to a report from Super Deportes, Lorient is targeting Aurele Amenda, and Amenda is pressuring Eintracht Frankfurt to allow a loan until the end of the season.

Kicker state that FC Lorient have made approaches for Aurele Amenda, but these clubs have not made concrete advances to Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krösche, potentially going via the player’s representatives instead. Krösche has refused to let Amenda leave and has turned down approaches from other clubs.

Eintracht Frankfurt defender Aurele Amenda wants to leave the Bundesliga club to improve his chances of being selected for the Swiss World Cup squad, for which he has four caps. He has made only three starts in eight league appearances this season. Lorient is reportedly one of several clubs interested in the 22-year-old centre-back, who holds both Swiss and Cameroonian citizenship. Mainz, Torino, Nice, and Valencia are also interested, and Celtic has also been linked to the player. Amenda's contract with the German club runs until June 2029. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €6.00m, and he was signed from Young Boys in January 2024 for a reported fee of €9.5 million.
