Robin Koch transfer update emerges from Sky Sports on Leeds United exit
According to Sky Sports Germany, Robin Koch is getting closer to leaving Leeds United permanently as Eintracht Frankfurt moves into the last phases of negotiations.
The Leeds centre back made an impression during his season-long loan at the German team, and the website stated [7 January] that Frankfurt is close to signing him on a free transfer till 2027.
Koch is reportedly highly interested in sticking with the team and making an impression in advance of Germany’s international matches in March. Dino Toppmoller has made him a regular in the first squad, and he is expected to leave Elland Road on a free transfer.
What a shame
The 27-year-old, along with Marc Roca, Brenden Aaronson, Diego Llorente, and Rasmus Kristensen, was among the few players to depart Elland Road following the Whites’ Premier League banishment the previous season.
Over the course of three seasons, he made 79 appearances for the Whites in all competitions and experienced some success in the top division of English football. Bringing the defender to the team, Marcelo Bielsa showed complete faith in him.
Koch started 36 of Leeds’ 38 league games throughout the challenging season, making him one of the team’s mainstays. However, in the summer of 2023, the defender decided to give up and fled to Germany. Additionally, it appears like the player made the appropriate choice.
There is no doubt about his ability on the pitch, starting 14 of Frankfurt’s 16 league games so far, helping the club to a sixth-place standing in the Bundesliga and qualify for the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League.
