Niels Nkounkou leaving Eintracht Frankfurt?
Kicker reports that PSV Eindhoven is interested in a loan deal for Niels Nkounkou with an option to buy. The club currently has only three trained full-backs for their standard four-man defense. PSV's CEO, Marcel Brands, is familiar with Nkounkou from his time as the sporting director at FC Everton. In 2020, Brands attracted Nkounkou from Marseille to the Premier League.
PSV Eindhoven is showing interest in Niels Nkounkou, a 24-year-old French left-back playing for Francfort. Nkounkou has established himself as a reliable player in Bundesliga, having played 23 matches across all competitions this season. Known for his speed and impact, he has attracted attention from top European clubs. PSV sees him as a valuable addition for the upcoming season and hopes to persuade Francfort to let him go.
Niels Nkounkou has received two concrete inquiries from abroad, including a club from his home country, France. He joined Eintracht Frankfurt from St. Etienne in 2023 and played twelve league matches and eight in the Europa League last season.
Niels Nkounkou might leave Eintracht Frankfurt prematurely in January due to stagnating development. Despite having a contract until 2028, he is considered a departure candidate because his playtime in the Bundesliga has significantly decreased since October. Summer signings Nathaniel Brown, Rasmus Kristensen, and Arthur Theate have surpassed him in the squad hierarchy.
