Real Madrid and Arsenal among clubs interested in Nathaniel Brown | OneFootball

Nathaniel Brown has shot to stardom. After a breakout 2024/25 campaign for Eintracht Frankfurt, the 22-year-old defender made his German national team debut against Luxembourg on Friday night.

And now, Brown is attracting interest from Europe’s biggest clubs. After rejecting a move to Italian giants Milan in the summer, Bild now report that Real Madrid, Arsenal and Manchester City are among the clubs interested in signing the youngster.

However, Bild note that a departure from Eintracht won’t happen until next summer at the earliest. Brown signed a contract extension in February that ties him to the club until 2030, with no exit clause.

That means that the Hessen club are free to command a significant fee for the left-back and as history has shown, club bosses negotiate extremely hard. Eintracht spent a total of €16.5m to sign Hugo Ekitké, Randal Kolo Muani and Omar Marmoush, selling the trio for a combined €265m.

With no exit clause in Brown’s contract, it would take an interesting offer before Eintracht consider selling.
