Eintracht Frankfurt not only threatens to lose stars like Evan Ndicka or Daichi Kamada. It looks like Ben Manga is also about to move to England.

The Frankfurters are threatened with the loss of Ben Manga. He is currently the "Director of Professional Football" and is referred to in the Sky report as a "transfer scout". Manga has already worked successfully as a scout in Hoffenheim and Stuttgart and is under contract with the Hessians until 2026. Now, however, a quick separation seems to be possible. A well-known English club is said to be vying for the services of the 48-year-old, who would take up the position of sporting director there. He would only report to the President. Of course, this would be a huge step up for Manga professionally, which could make the leap to the island later this year.

In the recent past, the SBU director has discovered Ndicka, Kolo Muani, Tuta, Touré and Borre and convinced them to switch. The results of the past few years and the present prove that manga isn't too bad at its job. According to Sky, the 48-year-old is therefore referred to as "diamond eye" in the Frankfurt area. Losing the "transfer scout" would of course be a setback for Eintracht. This applies in particular because there is likely to be a lot of movement again in the coming transfer phases. However, it can be assumed that the club will not put any obstacles in the way of the deserving director. Sky expects things to start moving this week. Maybe then it will also come to light which English club it is actually about.
