Philippe's move to Mainz fell through: Who will get the goalscorer now?
The transfer poker surrounding Rayan Philippe from Eintracht Braunschweig remains exciting. The talented striker, who attracted attention with 13 goals last season, now faces an uncertain future. A move to Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga was originally planned, but this deal has now fallen through. The reason for this is an insufficient transfer fee, which the clubs could not agree on. Loud News38 Eintracht Braunschweig estimated the transfer fee to be between 2 and 3 million euros, although they initially agreed with Mainz 05 on 2 to 2.5 million euros.
Other options have opened up for Philippe, who helped save the club with a decisive goal in the relegation game against 1. FC Saarbrücken.

Potential and competition
Philippe impressively demonstrated his skills last season. He scored his most important goal in the 2-2 draw in the second leg of the relegation match, which contributed significantly to Eintracht's relegation. The club, which decided to switch to another player from Mainz due to the insufficient transfer fee demand, now sees itself in a comfortable but also challenging position. The contract extension, which came about automatically as a result of relegation in the 2nd Bundesliga, gives Eintracht a little more time to find a lucrative deal.
The current developments surrounding Philippe show that there is great enthusiasm for the player. It remains to be seen whether he will ultimately move to one of the clubs mentioned. In any case, the striker, who was already cheered by some fans last season, is facing an exciting time on the transfer market.
