Overview

• Kevin Trapp, Eintracht’s captain and Europa League hero, is in advanced negotiations to join newly promoted Paris FC with a transfer fee still to be agreed.
• The 35-year-old’s Paris apartment and fiancée Izabel Goulart’s base in the city are cited as key personal factors in his preference for a move.
• Sporting director Markus Krösche has made clear that Trapp would drop to second-choice once Kauã Santos recovers from his cruciate ligament injury.
• Santos, identified as Trapp’s long-term successor, remains sidelined and unlikely to be available for Eintracht’s early season fixtures.
• Eintracht has held initial talks with Werder Bremen’s Michael Zetterer and is also evaluating internal options like Jens Grahl to safeguard the No. 1 position.
