Move to BVB? Frankfurt chief Krösche responds | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is once again being linked with Markus Krösche. The Frankfurt sporting director is now responding to the BVB speculation and clarifying a few things.

The future of Markus Krösche at Eintracht Frankfurt continues to be a topic of conversation. After recent speculation about a possible departure of the sporting director, the 45-year-old has now spoken out himself—and is trying to calm the discussions.

“In the end, there is always a lot of speculation. I stick to the facts,” Krösche explained on the Bild Sport program. He pointed in particular to his contractual situation: “I have a contract until 2028. We have been very successful. We have a very exciting, very promising team.”

The background to the debate is a report by Sport Bild, according to which Krösche is considering his future in Frankfurt. It is said that short-term sporting results play less of a role, and that the club’s strategic direction is more important. In particular, the balance between transfer revenues and sporting success is considered internally to be challenging.

Markus Krösche confirms contact with BVB

At the same time, the name Borussia Dortmund has surfaced again. There has been a good relationship between Krösche and BVB for some time, but there have not yet been any concrete negotiations about working together. Nevertheless, the Frankfurt official confirmed that there is contact with Dortmund’s management: “Of course, I have been in contact with Aki Watzke several times and also had contact in the past, but that had nothing to do with Borussia Dortmund as a topic.”

The connection can mainly be explained by joint tasks at the league level, for example within the framework of the German Football League. A possible move to Dortmund is therefore currently not a concrete issue—at least not for now.

Regardless, Krösche made it clear how comfortable he feels in Frankfurt. The club has developed strongly in sporting terms in recent years and remains attractive to him. He also firmly rejected rumors about possible signings of prominent Bundesliga players such as Niklas Süle and Julian Brandt from Borussia Dortmund or Leon Goretzka from FC Bayern, whose contracts expire in the summer, and dismissed them briefly and clearly as “nonsense.”
