Eintracht Frankfurt ‘to explore’ move for Ermedin Demirović despite his pledge to stay | OneFootball

Bild claims that Eintracht Frankfurt are exploring a move for Ermedin Demirović, despite the striker indicating last week he would remain at VfB Stuttgart.

Demirović recently said he wants to stay at VfB and feels he works well with coach Sebastian Hoeneß. He added that nothing had changed in his mind after links with Leeds United, Juventus and Fenerbahçe.

Fenerbahçe subsequently issued a formal denial of the rumours.

The report surfaced a day after Dženan Pejčinović arrived from VfL Wolfsburg for €25 million. Frankfurt are on the lookout for an experienced forward, with Elye Wahi set to join OGC Nice on a permanent deal.

Any negotiation is expected to be difficult. Demirović would sacrifice Champions League football for the move, and his reported €3.5 million Stuttgart salary could be challenging for Frankfurt. He is under contract with the Swabians until 2028, and Frankfurt are in the Europa Conference League.
