Eintracht Braunschweig gets Frenkert: Is Schleimer the next?

Eintracht Braunschweig has presented his first external new addition to the coming season with central defender Lukas Frenkert. The 24-year-old player changes free of charge from SC Prussia Münster and signed a contract with an option for extension until June 30, 2027. This deal is made possible by the positive perception of the association and the Frenkerts own ambitions, as he himself emphasizes. Clubsport managing director Benjamin Kessel also praised the skills of the new signing, which last season completed 25 missions in the 2nd Bundesliga and was able to score three goals and two templates.

Frenkert, which started at SC Prussia Münster in youth, has an impressive size at 1.90 meters that will be important for the defensive series. The newcomer currently bears the number 29. His return to the Prussians in January 2022 and the lending to the 1. FC Bocholt underline its development as a player.

further transfer plans and departures

But it remains exciting: Eintracht Braunschweig plans to also sign another striker who is also free of charge. Rayan Philippe is currently facing a possible change of club, which for the Braunschweiger has a high transfer fee and, above all, urgency to find a suitable replacement. Lukas Schleimer, whose contract expires at the 1st FC Nürnberg on June 30, plays a central role in the considerations of managing director Kessel as a potential candidate for the storm position. The striker is not only flexible, but also brings plenty of experience.

The current squad planning shows that only two tall target players - Levante Szabo and Sebastian Polter - are available. This could cause Eintracht to take into account the decisions and wishes of the new trainer, who may have his own ideas for the squad design. This course could be of crucial importance, especially in the current transfer phase.
