Arsenal are among the clubs in the mix to sign Eintracht Frankfurt’s Evan Ndicka.
The centre-back’s current deal runs down in 2023 and the duration left on his contract has not had any impact on his game time. He has made 15 starts in all competitions this season.
Ndicka’s performances have also caught the attention of other clubs, including Arsenal and Juventus.
According to Sport Mediaset, relayed by Tutto Juve, Mikel Arteta’s side would be ‘very interested’ in signing the 23-year-old, partly because of his contract situation with the Bundesliga side.
Without a renewal, the defender can sign a pre-contract with any club outside Germany, from January. This is something what the Europa League winners want to avoid. That’s at least what Calciomercato.it are reporting.
They have a report discussing Juve and AC Milan interest in the player. It’s also claimed these two sides are joined by AS Roma and clubs from England for the player’s signature.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s initial request to part ways with Ndicka in January is around €10-12m, but a deal can be closed for €8-9m. The German club would not resist his sale in the winter market, in order to avoid losing the Frenchman as a free agent next summer.
With Arsenal ‘very interested’ in Ndicka, they could complete his signing in January, if they can convince him and pay at least €8m to Eintracht Frankfurt.
