A big name is changing in the Bundesliga! Jonathan Burkardt says goodbye to Mainz 05 and joins Eintracht Frankfurt. The transfer, planned for summer 2025, has now been officially confirmed. Eintracht Frankfurt has agreed on a transfer fee of up to 23 million euros with Mainz 05, [Sport Sky] confirmed.
The medical check, scheduled for Friday, represents the next step in this exciting change. What is already known about the contract details is that Burkardt will sign a long-term contract until 2030.

His qualities are urgently needed in Eintracht's offensive, as Sportschau reports.
Eintracht Frankfurt is planning with Burkardt
Eintracht sports director Markus Krösche has long been in agreement with Burkardt, and the team under coach Dino Toppmöller seems to have big plans for the striker. Burkardt will play a central role in the offensive as he also wants to make a name for himself for the 2026 World Cup.

At the same time, the club appears to have found a solution that puts Eintracht in a strong position to strengthen their offense for the coming season.
