Liverpool may have been handed their opportunity to sign Eintracht Frankfurt duo Daichi Kamada and Evan Ndicka, with the German side withdrawing their contract offers to both players.
That’s according to Sport 1 and BILD, who say the Bundesliga side have given up hope of convincing the duo to sign new contracts at the club.
Both are out of contract in the summer and Eintracht’s hopes had been that they would agree new deals and avoid leaving on a free transfer.
That is yet to happen, though, and the pair have been linked with moves to clubs all around Europe as they represent bargain signings.
Liverpool are one of those to have been named as suitors, with the Reds brought into the picture for Kamada over the last few months and reports in England claiming they are also looking at Ndicka.
Their hopes of getting both players may have now been handed a boost as Sport 1 and BILD report Frankfurt have withdrawn their contract offers to both players.
There has been no movement in those negotiations for a long time and the player has also ‘signalled’ that he wanted to take a different route with his career. That tallies with reports in recent weeks claiming he wanted to move abroad.
Sport 1 don’t back that up but do say that ‘foreign clubs’ are vying for his signature although the player is yet to make a decision on his future.
Either way it appears he will be leaving Eintracht and BILD say he will be joined in doing so by teammate Ndicka.
According to their information, the offer from Frankfurt to the defender ‘will no longer be maintained’ and thus he ‘will leave’ this summer.
At the moment it remains to be seen where he ends up, but Liverpool have been linked, with reports stating that they were even interested in him when he was at Auxerre.
Either way, Eintracht are expecting him to leave and have already signed a replacement in the form of Willian Pacho, whose arrival was announced by the club on Thursday.
That’s a further hint that the club are planning for life without Ndicka, who, alongside Kamada, appears to be on his way. Whether that is to Liverpool, remains to be seen.
