Eintracht Braunschweig signs central defender Frenkert for a free transfer!

Eintracht Braunschweig has successfully fought its way through the past challenges of the season and is now looking optimistically into the future. With relegation in the bag, the club is already planning the squad for the coming season. An important step in this direction is the signing of Lukas Frenkert, who comes on a free transfer from Preußen Münster. A step that is intended to strengthen Braunschweig's defense, as there is an urgent need for action here after Robert Ivanov leaves the club at the end of the season. Frenkert will be available from June 30, 2025, which is a welcome solution for Eintracht Braunschweig. According to news38.de the club's clearly stated objective is to avoid another difficult season.

Frenkert, a 24-year-old central defender, brings with him a variety of skills that he was able to demonstrate in his last season in the 2nd Bundesliga. With 25 games, three goals and two assists, he has proven not only to be a solid defender, but also a valuable support in attack. His achievements have also put him in the position of currently having a market value of 900,000 euros. Sports director Benjamin Kessel was positive about Frenkert's potential, as he can play all defensive positions and is both-footed as well as excelling at building up the game and heading the ball. The decision for Frenkert was therefore an obvious one: He is the first new signing for the coming season and signed a contract until 2027 with the option of an extension, as transfermarkt.de reports.

Defensive situation analysis

Eintracht Braunschweig has a tense situation in defense. The impending departure of Robert Ivanov and the unclear futures of Ermin Bicakcic and Jannis Nikolaou cause uncertainty. Currently only Kevin Ehlers and Sven Köhler are available as defenders. In addition, Paul Jaeckel is returning to Union Berlin after his loan, although staying in Braunschweig cannot be ruled out. The signing of Frenkert could be an important building block in making the defense more stable and preparing the team for next season.

Overall, it can be said that the new signing Lukas Frenkert fits very well into the picture that Eintracht Braunschweig paints for the coming season. The player himself has already emphasized that he has heard a lot of positive things about the club and is ready to do his best to celebrate success together. Those responsible hope that the reinforcement of the defense will bear fruit in time for next season. Let's stay tuned for further developments and commitments that will shape Eintracht's squad planning in the coming weeks.
