FC Bayern and Eintracht Frankfurt agree on Brown transfer: 55 million euros fee under discussion

Initially, Eintracht is said to have demanded more than 60 million euros, according to "Bild" even 60 to 65 million euros. During the course of the negotiations, the clubs moved closer together. "Eintracht wants the highest possible fixed amount, while Bayern wants to keep this low and work more with bonus payments." According to "Bild" information, Frankfurt would go for a model of 50 plus 5 million euros.

Eintracht Frankfurt has already given Brown their assurance, according to their own information, that he will be allowed to move to Munich. The record champions have also made arrangements so that the national team player can complete his medical check in the USA. "Bayern is firmly counting on him. The transfer is to be finalized after the Curaçao game." Brown is then expected to sign a contract until 2031.

Brown's focus is on the World Cup

The national team player, who will soon turn 23, had recently been focusing on the upcoming World Cup. "I'm fully focusing on the World Cup," he had said. When asked about a possible transfer, he remained tight-lipped: "That's why I won't comment on it now either."

Thomas Müller had meanwhile highlighted the sporting qualities of the left-back. "But this is a player who is definitely interesting. In terms of quality and potential, definitely," the football veteran had recently said, adding: "And I think everyone can see that he is interesting." Müller also warned of the tough competition situation at the record champions: At Bayern, you have "of course brutal competition."

Context: Third-most expensive left-back

Should the transfer go through, Brown would become the third-most expensive out-and-out left-back in football history. The record transfers for this position are led by Marc Cucurella, who moved to Chelsea for 65.3 million euros, and Benjamin Mendy, who went to Manchester City for 57.5 million euros.

Davies' future remains open

It remains to be seen how this personnel matter will affect the already discussed future of Alphonso Davies. The contract of the Canadian left-back colleague at FC Bayern runs until 30 June of the current year. A move by Davies has been the subject of speculation on several occasions in recent months.

According to the statistics, Brown's focus is on the World Cup, after he had developed into a national team player in Frankfurt following his apprenticeship years at 1. FC Köln. With a move to Munich, he would meet a top-class defensive line-up at the record champions.
