Find out which club had Froholdt lined up before FC Porto | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas revealed, in an interview on the podcast Primeiro Toque released this Friday, that a Bundesliga club came very close to signing Victor Froholdt last summer, before FC Porto completed the arrival of the Danish midfielder from Copenhagen.

“Froholdt had a transfer agreed to the Bundesliga, after FC Porto had already been in Copenhagen, but it fell through due to a lack of agreement between those clubs. We had a very short window of time to act, and we acted. Normally, this player should not be here, but in another league,” the Porto president emphasized.

The newspaper A BOLA reported that the club in question is Eintracht Frankfurt, a team that finished last season, in which it took part in the UEFA Champions League, in eighth place in the German league.

The Denmark international, who cost the blue-and-white SAD €20 million, with a further €2 million potentially payable upon the achievement of certain objectives, was one of the standout figures in the team coached by Francesco Farioli, winning the 2025/26 League MVP and Best Young Player awards.
