Matanovic Transfer: Gladbach withdraws-who gets the striker?

St Pauli, Deutschland - The transfer decisions are becoming increasingly exciting this season. Igor Matanović, the ex-striker of FC St. Pauli, is currently at the top of the reporting. After a mixed first season with Eintracht Frankfurt, where he was only six times in the starting eleven - also due to injuries - several Bundesliga clubs are now looking for ways to sign the talented attacker. As Stpauli24, the Eintracht has a prize presentation of around ten million euros for Matanović, which negotiations does not make it easier.

After Borussia Mönchengladbach has already withdrawn from the transfer poker, since the price seemed too high for them, their eyes are now aimed at other potential interested parties. FC Augsburg and Werder Bremen are currently hot in the race for the commitment of the 22-year-old striker, who was born on March 31, 2003 in Hamburg and is wearing jersey number 9 for Eintracht. Matanović always remembers his roots in Hamburg, even if he is now continuing his career in the Bundesliga.

break bread: Matanović's career and stats

In order to better classify the young player, it is worth taking a look at his career so far. From 2010 to 2023, Matanović was active in various youth teams of the Harburg gymnastics association and FC St. Pauli before moving to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023. A guest performance at Karlsruher SC followed in 2023 before returning to Frankfurt in 2024. In the current season he brought it to a goal and two games in the starting eleven of a total of 16 Bundesliga games. The statistics show that he is not only in the end, but also as a team player, with 11 shots and 1 pass to a degree.

In the previous your games, the Frankfurters were able to score a total of 9 wins, but you also had to accept a 0-2 defeat against Werder Bremen, in which Matanović was only on the pitch for 8 minutes as a midfielder. In this use, he covered a considerable 1.8 km and undertook 4 sprints. Such services arouse interest, and the clubs in the league are waiting for the development.

a hot tip

The obligation of Igor Matanović could be a real bargain for the association who signs him. While Mönchengladbach signed up due to the required transfer, the question remains: Who has the necessary budget and the sporty eye to sign a potential star? Eintracht Frankfurt will certainly keep your fingers crossed that the upcoming negotiations are pushing. It remains to be seen where the path of the Matanović talent will ultimately lead him. Whether Augsburg or Bremen will be awarded the contract to be exciting for the next few weeks!
