Eintracht Braunschweig signs Frenkert: The squad is being strengthened!

Eintracht Braunschweig is starting the upcoming football season with a breath of fresh air. The club has announced that Lukas Frenkert has been signed as the first external signing for the 2025 season. The 24-year-old central defender comes from SC Preußen Münster on a free transfer and brings fresh energy to the Lower Saxony defense. His contract runs until June 30, 2027 and includes an extension option. Frenkert, who is one of the tallest players at 1.90 meters tall, will wear the number 29 on his shirt. Last season he made 25 appearances in the 2nd Bundesliga, scoring three goals and providing two assists. Sports director Benjamin Kessel is sure that Frenkert will give the team a boost. “I am very happy to be part of Eintracht Braunschweig,” said Frenkert about his motivation to contribute to the club’s success. Eintracht.com further reports on Frenkert's personality that his career began at SC Preußen Münster, but he also spent a time with the second representative of FC Schalke 04 before returning to the Münster club.

Those responsible at Eintracht Braunschweig insist on continuing to work on the squad. Possible approaches are also discussed. In this context, Rayan Philippe could leave the club. A large transfer fee could be achieved, which would prompt the club to seek a replacement. A promising target could be Lukas Schmelzer, whose contract with 1. FC Nürnberg ends on June 30th. Kessel set his sights on Scheiber. “We are looking for another striker who is also available for free,” said Kessel. This is not only a strategic consideration, but also necessary, as the Braunschweig squad currently only has two tall target players: Levante Szabo and Sebastian Polter.

About the new ones and the changes

Lukas Schimmeler is described as a flexible and experienced player, which makes him an interesting candidate for the striker position. However, the decision about a commitment could depend on the ideas of the new coach. It remains to be seen what ideas and desired players he will bring with him and how the team structure could change. In connection with squad planning, communication is required in order to make the best decisions for the next season.

Eintracht fans can be excited to see what the transfer window will bring. There is a lot to decide and many opportunities to increase the quality of the squad. With Frenkert, those responsible for the sport have already shown a good hand. Further developments, especially with regard to Schmelzer and the possible further new additions, will be followed with great interest in the coming weeks.
