The midfield of Eintracht Frankfurt is probably the part of the team that will undergo the biggest upheaval in the summer. The farewell of Daichi Kamada is already official. Players like Jesper Lindström or Djibril Sow are possible sales candidates. Numerous departures that have to be compensated.
Carl Gustafsson is apparently one of the people who could fill the gap, according to Frankfurt. The 23-year-old Swede plays for Kalmar FF and is on Eintracht’s watch list, according to Aftonbladet. Bundesliga scouts were present at Kalmar’s recent 3-1 win over BK Hacken. Particularly interesting: The central midfielder is available on a free transfer at the end of the year, his contract with Kalmar expires at the end of December. The Frankfurters are not alone with their interest in view of this contract situation.
According to the report, FC Brugge, AZ Alkmaar, Ajax Amsterdam and AC Fiorentina have also put out feelers for the up-and-coming right-footer. Gustafsson was the player with the most runs in the league last season, covering the most kilometers in the Allsvenskan. In the current season, the homegrown Kalmar team has not missed a minute of a competitive game. Gustafsson is also doing well at international level: After eleven appearances for the Swedish U21 national team, this January made his debut for Sweden’s senior national team.
