Eintracht Braunschweig strengthens: Frenkert and Scheiber in focus!

Eintracht Braunschweig is causing a stir and a breath of fresh air in the squad with the first transfer news. On June 21, 2025, the club announced the signing of central defender Lukas Frenkert, who is coming from SC Preußen Münster on a free transfer. The 24-year-old not only has an impressive height of 1.90 meters, but also already has extensive experience in the 2nd Bundesliga. His contract runs until June 30, 2027 and also includes an extension option. Frenkert will wear the number 29 and is looking forward to contributing to Eintracht's success. He describes the positive perception of the club as a decisive factor in his move, while sports director Benjamin Kessel is also optimistic about the new additions, which are said to be good for the team. Eintracht.com reports that Frenkert previously made 25 appearances last season, in which he scored three goals and prepared two more.

But that's not all: Eintracht Braunschweig is planning further reinforcements. Understandably, the club sees that Rayan Philippe is likely to leave the club. If the transfer goes through, it could generate a high transfer fee. This opens up the need to sign a new striker, which even brings concrete names into play. This also includes Lukas Schmelzer, whose contract with 1. FC Nürnberg expires at the end of the month and who is considered a potential candidate for the striker position. Managing director Kessel has an eye for Scheiber because the player can be used flexibly and already has valuable experience. News38.de emphasizes that the final decision about Scheiber may depend on the presentation of the new coach, who will have his own ideas and desired players.

Strategic squad planning

Overall, squad planning at Eintracht Braunschweig appears to be forward-looking and strategically well thought out. There are currently only two tall target players in the squad: Levante Szabo and Sebastian Polter. However, that could change soon, depending on how negotiations with Schmelzer develop. Eintracht has already prevailed against competitors from the 2nd Bundesliga and has taken good negotiating positions.

Eintracht Braunschweig had a balanced transfer record last season. According to Transfermarkt.de, there was an income surplus of €22,350,000, with expenses of €22,770,000. A total loss of €420,000 is no big deal if the new players perform well and lead Eintracht successfully through the coming season.

In summary, it will be exciting to see what further steps Eintracht Braunschweig takes and how the squad will develop. The motivation to start the new season with fresh energy is palpable and the fans can look forward to an exciting season.
