Football Transfers reckons Jesper Lindstrom could look for a way out of Eintracht Frankfurt and join a Champions League side in this window. The news would boost sides like Newcastle United, who have shown sufficient interest in the €30-40 million-rated midfielder.
Jesper Lindstrom is a player on the rise after some consistent displays for Eintracht Frankfurt. The Danish attacking midfielder has been in the sights of some top clubs during his time at the Bundesliga outfit. The current summer window might see the 23-year-old make the jump to a top club.
Lindstrom plays in interesting positions for Frankfurt and has maintained consistency despite the Bundesliga side faltering away last season. The sacking of Oliver Glasner, coupled with the team qualifying only for the UEFA Europa Conference League, has got the 23-year-old thinking about his long-term future here.
The report claims Lindstrom wants to quit Frankfurt to join a club in the Champions League during the current window. Many clubs are admiring the Danish midfielder. Still, Newcastle United have shown the most substantial interest in this window so far.
Arsenal and Liverpool were also keen earlier. But the two clubs are unlikely to make a move for Lindstrom. The Merseysiders only recently signed Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig. At the same time, the Gunners brought in a similar player in Kai Havertz from Chelsea.
On the other hand, Newcastle United have been on the lookout for a player in Lindstrom’s profile. In recent weeks, they have missed out on James Maddison and Szoboszlai, which may force them to turn their attention towards Lindstrom.
The price range of €30-40 million would also suit Newcastle United in their pursuit of Lindstrom. Eddie Howe could get the missing link to their final third play, as they would see the Frankfurt star as the right fit for their system. Meanwhile, they can also give the 23-year-old Champions League football, something he craves.
Frankfurt might consider a sale if sides meet their €30-40 million asking price but would also consider keeping him. The Bundesliga side have the player tied down until 2026, which would give them the upper hand in negotiations and getting the right price in this current market.
