Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool have been told they’d be signing “one of the best full-backs in Europe” in Nathaniel Brown this summer.
BILD report on the 22-year-old today and big praise from Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krösche after Brown impressed for Germany this week.
Brown earned his full debut for Germany on Monday and stood out in the 2-1 win over Ghana. It was the latest big performance in what is becoming a breakout season for the left-back.
Praise followed after the game. Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich labelled him a “very intelligent and technically sound player”.
This all underlines why he’s been attracting transfer interest from Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.
Krösche unsurprised
While most were surprised by the left-back, Markus Krösche was not. He’s been watching Nathaniel Brown impress for Eintracht Frankfurt for a while and knows his abilities.
He’s been watching Brown take on super talents like Michael Olise and Lamine Yamal and holding his own.
“He played a good game,” the Frankfurt boss said, pleased with his player’s debut.
“For me, he’s already one of the best full-backs in Europe.”
Krösche is already preparing for a big summer exit. He’s demanding €65-70m for his rising star, a figure which would make him the most expensive left-back in the world.
Eintracht believe a move is increasingly likely. BILD have learned that nobody in the club’s management expects Brown to stay this summer. He is ‘’ to remain.
Growing interest in Nathaniel Brown
The German club are also aware of the growing interest in Nathaniel Brown. Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool are interest. So are Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Keeping the defender out of their hands, if they are genuinely interested, is no mean feat. They call easily pay the €60m+ that is Frankfurst are demanding for their rising star.
They will all have been encourage by reports, such as this one last month, stating that a big money move to the likes of Manchester United would suit Frankfurt perfectly.
For now, BILD insist that no concrete talks have taken place. Brown is focused on continuing his rise and going to the World Cup. That might see his value rise even more.
But Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and the others can seemingly rest assured. If they spend big this summer, they’re getting one of the best according to Markus Krösche.
