On Friday, Eintracht Frankfurt beat FC Augsburg 3-1 in front of their home crowd and thus took a big step towards qualifying for the European Cup again.
Thanks to the threesome, the SGE not only successfully defended sixth place, but also extended their lead thanks to SC Freiburg’s slip-up on Sunday. Four game days before the end of the season, the Hessians are five points ahead of the SCF.

The strong second half, in which a suddenly energetic Frankfurt team turned a 0-1 deficit, was probably not the only thing that Eintracht officials liked.
On the other hand, a professional who has been traded on the SGE for weeks also had a strong campaign. Augsburg’s Ermedin Demirović found teammate Ruben Vargas with a well-tempered pass before he put the ball into the goal from a tight angle.
Sure, at that moment it wasn’t very pleasant for everyone in Frankfurt. At the same time, it may have confirmed the desire to be able to welcome Demirović to the Waldstadion more often in the future.
Ermedin Demirović is currently too expensive for Eintracht Frankfurt
According to information from Sky The German-Bosnian is still on the SGE list and the club has had his eye on him for a long time. However, this should not increase the chances of a summer transfer. According to the report, the people of Frankfurt are pessimistic about a commitment.
The reason for this is very simple: FC Augsburg should demand 25 million euros for their top scorer – that is clearly too much for Eintracht Frankfurt at the moment.
However, the FCA may not deter all interested parties with this demand. Because the SGE is not said to have Demirović as the only club on the list; there are also inquiries from the Premier League.
Eintracht Frankfurt continues to plan with Mario Götze
There have also been slight question marks surrounding Mario Götze’s future recently. The 2014 World Cup hero lost his regular place at times in the first half of the season and never made a secret of his desire to play in the US MLS in the future.
However, this wish will not come true for the coming season. Sea Sky Eintracht Frankfurt is planning to continue with Götze over the summer. The club values both the experience and qualities of the 31-year-old.
His contract situation also speaks in favor of Götze staying, who has scored four goals and provided four more in 37 games across all competitions this season. The midfielder is ultimately tied to the SGE until 2026.
