Eintracht Frankfurt would like to extend Kevin Trapp’s contract. The goalkeeper would probably have to make some concessions when it comes to salary.
Manchester United had been seriously interested in signing Kevin Trapp in the summer. According to the English media, the German national goalkeeper would have a long-term contract and a lavish salary on the island – but the 32-year-old listened to his heart and opted for Eintracht, where he is an absolute top performer and fan favorite.
The Hessians would rather extend the contract of their number one, which is dated until 2024, today rather than tomorrow, but there still seem to be a few differences financially. According to the image, Trapp does not seem to be “particularly happy about the offer” from the SGE.
A look at the numbers reveals why: Instead of the previous 3.5 million euros, the Frankfurt troops offer a basic salary of “only” two million euros for an extension. In addition, however, there should be “high performance-related bonuses”, which means that the club would only have to dig deeper into their pockets if the sporting (and thus financial) success also occurs.
According to the picture, sports director Markus Krösche still has to save on expenses – if possible, the salary structure should even be reduced. The 42-year-old told the tabloid: “We’ve been in exchange for two or three months because we would like to extend it. It’s about a longer future.” According to the report, a contract until 2027 is under discussion. It would be Trapp’s last big deal of his career. But would he accept almost halving his base salary for this?
