Eintracht Frankfurt may be eyeing up a move for Manchester United’s Victor Lindelof as they hunt for a new centre-back.
That’s according to Frankfurter Rundschau, who report that the pressure is now on director of football Markus Krösche to find a player and he has one eye on Manchester United.
They explain that there is a current gap in the Eintracht team at centre-back and they’re scrambling to find an option after one target decided to go somewhere else.
The German side were close to doing a deal for Konstantinos Koulierakis but found their experience with his agent to be a negative one and the player is now on his way to Wolfsburg instead.
That’s led to some frustration at Frankfurt and heaped pressure on Krösche’s shoulders to find an alternative, which may lie at Old Trafford.
FR report that he has one eye on Manchester United and defender Victor Lindelof, who has been pushed down the pecking order this summer thanks to the arrivals of Leny Yoro and Mathijs de Ligt.
United are likely to be open to a sale, especially as Lindelof is in the final year of his deal, and Frankfurt have money to spend thanks to selling William Pacho to PSG.
How much they’d be willing to spend isn’t mentioned but it seems the idea of moving for Lindelof is now being discussed as Krösche looks for the player the squad needs.
