Eric Smith arouses desires in the Bundesliga. As the ‘Hamburger Abendblatt’ reports, 1. FSV Mainz 05 is keeping a close eye on the 26-year-old. As a result, the Kiezkicker would like to collect a transfer fee of more than two million for the Swede, who is contractually bound until 2025. A quite manageable sum.
Under Pauli coach Fabian Hürzeler, the right-footed player is a regular and most recently played in central defense. In addition, Smith can also act in defensive midfield. In the current season, the 1.92 meter tall powerhouse has been on the pitch 25 times for Pauli and has already been directly involved in six goals (three goals, three assists).
According to ‘L’Équipe’, the 05ers are also dealing with Skelly Alvero (21) from French second division club FC Sochaux in addition to the dangerous defensive specialist. However, the six is also on the list for Borussia Mönchengladbach and Olympique Lyon. So it’s quite possible that the Mainz team are hoping for less competition from Smith.
