Matteo Mazzone leaves Eintracht Frankfurt: Change to Holstein Kiel II

Eintracht Frankfurt announced that the talented midfielder Matteo Mazzone, who most recently played for the U21 of the club, leaves the club and follows Holstein Kiel II. This decision comes shortly before the transfer window is closed and represents a significant step in the 19-year-old's career.

Mazzone only moved from VfL Wolfsburg to Frankfurt in the summer of 2023 with the hope of establishing itself in the men's area. However, the move to Kiel marks another turning point in its still young career. "With Matteo Mazzone, we have committed an offensive player who fits perfectly into the game system of our U19 and can prove himself in the men's team," said Alexander Richter, head of the youth performance center at Eintracht Frankfurt, when the young talent was presented.

career highlights and change motivations

Last season Mazzone played 23 times for the U19 of Eintracht Frankfurt, where he was able to score three goals and the same number of templates. Although he showed strong performances in preparation for the new season and scored four goals in test games, he was denied an assignment in the competitive games of the U21. Mazzone was born in Wolfsburg and began his football career at the Usi Lupo Martini Wolfsburg before being included in the VfL Wolfsburg junior academy.

his time was particularly impressive at the U17 of the wolves, where he shone in only ten games in the B-Junior Bundesliga North/Northeast. This led to a quick ascent to the U19, where he also played internationally in the UEFA Youth League in addition to his league inserts.

In March 2023, Mazzone had the opportunity to play for the U18 national team in Italy, but later switched to the Australian association. There he already stood on the square for the U18 of the "Socceroos" and also scored two goals in three games in the U20 selection.

The new challenge in Kiel

With the move to Holstein Kiel II, Mazzone returns to his northern German homeland, where he wants to face a new challenge. This decision could be an important opportunity for its further development. It remains to be seen how he will beat in Kiel and whether he can now also demonstrate his services from the U19 in the men's team.

Matteo Mazzone is an example for many young talents who are constantly in search of seasons and development opportunities. Football is a dynamic sport, and Mazzone's change shows how important it is to take the right steps at the right time to drive your own career.
