Noel Futkeu, a 23-year-old German-Cameroonian striker who joined Greuther Fürth from Eintracht Frankfurt II in the summer of 2024 for 250,000 euros, is not expected to be at the club next season despite having a contract until 2027. Eintracht Frankfurt holds a buy-back option for the striker valued at 1.3 million euros, a fact revealed by Sport BILD in September 2024. This option is lower than the player's market value, which is listed as 5 million euros by transfermarkt.de, suggesting Frankfurt could profit from a direct resale. There is interest in Futkeu from across Europe, and according to Belgian transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri, RSC Anderlecht is one of the clubs pursuing him. In the current 2. Bundesliga season, Futkeu has scored 15 goals and provided 5 assists in 30 appearances. In preparation for a summer move, the forward changed his representation to the Sports360 agency in early December. Futkeu has said that he knows his performances are being noticed but that his main priority is his mission with his current team before he considers the next step in his career.
