Frankfurt signs Germany forward Jonathan Burkardt from Bundesliga rival Mainz
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Eintracht Frankfurt signed Germany forward Jonathan Burkardt from Bundesliga rival Mainz on Friday. The 24-year-old Burkardt signed a contract through June 2030. 'Jonny has a lot of qualities that will benefit our game. He has proven his finishing ability at Mainz, just as he has his tactical understanding. He's an absolute team player on and off the pitch," Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krösche said. Burkardt was the top-scoring German player in the Bundesliga last season with 18 in 29 games, a club record for Mainz. Only Harry Kane, Serhou Guirassy and Patrik Schick scored more. Altogether he scored 41 goals in 136 Bundesliga games after coming through Mainz's youth ranks following a switch from Darmstadt's youth setup in 2014, and he spent 11 years at the club. Mainz sporting director Christian Heidel said Burkardt will remain cherished by the club after extending his contract when he could have left for free in 2023. 'Mainz would have been relegated without his outstanding performances in the second half of the season 2023-24, after his long injury layoff,' Heidel said. 'We haven't forgotten that.' Burkardt's signing by Frankfurt could indicate the club might be willing to let Hugo Ekitiké go. The French forward has been linked with Premier League clubs after his fine finish to the season in the wake of Omar Marmoush's midseason departure for Manchester City. ___

Advertisement Now, die Adler must reach an agreement with Mainz over a fee. Frankfurt values Burkardt at around €20m, but die 05ers want more. Part of the reason behind this, reports Bild, is the fact that Burkardt himself will receive part of the transfer fee once the move is completed. Once the Darmstadt native has moved to Deutsche Bank Park, he can either be used alongside Hugo Ekitiké or he can act as a replacement for the Frenchman in the event that he leaves the club this summer amid interest from the Premier League.

The 24-year-old ended the year with 18 goals and two assists, making him the top scoring German in the league, and he was able to play his way into the German national team. GGFN | Jack Meenan
