Africa-Press – Lesotho. Eintracht Frankfurt has mastered the art of buying low and selling high, especially when it comes to strikers. Over the last few years, the German club has brought in over €400 million from six major forward sales.
With smart scouting, a consistent attacking philosophy, and a bit of luck, the Eagles have turned relatively unknown or undervalued strikers into goldmines. From Sébastien Haller and Luka Jovic to André Silva and Randal Kolo Muani, each sale marked a new financial success and strengthened Frankfurt’s reputation in the transfer market.
The club’s recent windfalls are jaw-dropping. After signing Kolo Muani on a free from Nantes, they sold him for €95 million to PSG. Omar Marmoush followed with a €75 million move to Manchester City, and Hugo Ekitike just joined Liverpool for another €95 million. All of this under the eye of sporting director Markus Krösche, the mastermind behind Frankfurt’s most profitable deals. Nicknamed “King of Money,” Krösche has built a model where low investment often leads to huge returns, without sacrificing the club’s performance on the pitch.
With Champions League qualification in hand and the latest signings like Elye Wahi and Jonathan Burkardt already under the spotlight, Frankfurt is proving that smart strategy can beat big spending. While others rely on billionaires or sovereign wealth funds, Eintracht relies on talent, vision, and patience — and it’s paying off handsomely.
