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

André Villas-Boas revealed, in an interview with the Primeiro Toque podcast 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 verbally agreed to the Bundesliga, after FC Porto had already been in Copenhagen, but it did not go 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,” stressed the Porto president.

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 20 million euros, with a further €2 million potentially added upon the fulfillment of certain objectives, to the blue-and-white SAD, was one of the standout figures of the team coached by Francesco Farioli, having won the 2025/26 League MVP and Best Young Player awards.
