The loan of Ansgar Knauff with Eintracht Frankfurt expires in the summer. In an interview, the 21-year-old discussed his future.
Ansgar Knauff got his career going as a loan player with Eintracht Frankfurt. While at BVB he bounced between the first and second teams, he has long since established himself at a high level at Frankfurt.
His loan expires in the summer, although it is unclear how the 21-year-old will continue. The Frankfurters do not have a buy option on the winger but would prefer to keep him.
“I’m concentrating fully on the second half of the season – anything is possible with this club! We’ve had an exceptionally good season so far and we want to end it exceptionally well. That doesn’t leave much time to think about other things,” he told Kicker.
“Of course we’ll get together sooner or later to discuss how to proceed, but now wouldn’t be the right time,”
When asked if Eintracht fans might expect him to stay, he said: “Of course. Eintracht and BVB are both great clubs with fantastic fans and awesome stadiums. I don’t know what’s in the summer yet. But I know one thing: In the next six months I will give everything for Eintracht,”
On the possibility of playing under coach Edin Terzic again.
“Edin is a super coach who has taken me a long way. Although I was a young player with little professional experience, he set me up in big games,” says Knauff
“Likewise, Oliver is a great coach who has developed me extremely well within a year. Top coaching teams work in both clubs.”
“That’s why I’m relaxed: Whatever the outcome, I can only win,”
