Eintracht Frankfurt are making strategic moves ahead of the summer transfer window, as reports from Kicker confirm that the club has reached a verbal agreement with FC Copenhagen midfielder Victor Froholdt. The Danish teenager is widely regarded as the ideal long-term replacement for Swedish international Hugo Larsson, who is expected to leave Frankfurt by 2026 for a top European side.
Negotiations between Frankfurt and Copenhagen are now focused on finalizing the transfer fee, which would see Froholdt make the switch to Deutsche Bank Park ahead of the 2025–26 Bundesliga season. The 19-year-old has impressed with his technical intelligence, composure in midfield, and versatility—traits that have made him one of Denmark’s most exciting young prospects.
Frankfurt’s interest in Froholdt aligns with the club’s forward-thinking transfer strategy. Known for identifying and grooming replacements before high-profile exits, Frankfurt’s model has helped maintain squad balance and financial stability. The club replaced Randal Kolo Muani with Hugo Ekitiké, who is now poised to pass the baton to Jonathan Burkardt. Similarly, Evan Ndicka’s departure was swiftly covered by William Pacho, who has since moved to Paris Saint-Germain.
Hugo Larsson’s rise since joining Frankfurt from Malmö FF has mirrored that philosophy. Having become a key figure in midfield, Larsson has attracted attention from Europe’s elite and is likely to move on in the next couple of seasons. By securing Froholdt early, Frankfurt aims to ensure a seamless transition while giving the young Dane time to adapt and grow under Bundesliga conditions.
If the deal is finalized as expected, Froholdt’s arrival could prove to be another masterstroke by Frankfurt’s recruitment team—safeguarding the club’s midfield future and reinforcing their reputation as one of Europe’s smartest operators in the transfer market.
