Borussia Dortmund has signed Elias Benkara to a professional contract until June 2029, which includes an estimated annual salary of 450,000 euros plus bonuses related to playing time and sporting development. With this contract extension, Borussia Dortmund has prevented several European suitors, including Eintracht Francfort, from signing him.

According to the 'Bild'-Podcast 'True or Not True', Eintracht Frankfurt has made contact regarding Elias Benkara. The online portal 'Absolut Fussball' reports that Eintracht Frankfurt has been observing the central defender for some time. Benkara's contract at Borussia Dortmund expires in the summer, and the club would like to extend his contract.

According to AdlerNews, Eintracht Frankfurt is interested in Elias Benkara from Borussia Dortmund. Benkara was born in Frankfurt, and his contract with Borussia Dortmund is set to expire at the end of this season, which would allow him to join on a free transfer.

Africafoot reported that 18-year-old defender Elias Benkara has decided to seek a departure from Borussia Dortmund to find a project that ensures regular top-level playing time. His contract is valid until June 2026, but negotiations for an extension have not progressed. Sources cited by the publication state that BVB's management presented a long-term offer. However, the player is requesting technical guarantees for a permanent position in the first team rather than being restricted to the reserves, which has become a source of disagreement. The situation has generated interest from German clubs Eintracht Frankfurt and Mainz, Lille OSC in France, and Club Bruges in Belgium. The player's interests are handled by the agency ROGON, which possesses considerable influence and networks in the Premier League and Bundesliga. It is also reported that Benkara considers a transfer a means to convince the national team selector to call him up.
