Joshua Zirkzee has the clubs to choose from in January. The attacker of Bayern Munich barely appears in the plans of trainer Hans-Dieter Flick and has been interested in 1. FC Köln for some time. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Serious interest from Eintracht Frankfurt is now added to this. At Eintracht, Zirkzee has to fill in the void that Bas Dost has left after the tall striker left for Club Brugge last week.

Eintracht sees Zirkzee as the ideal replacement for Dost, the newspaper assures us. The teenager does not have to count on a lot of playing time at Bayern and is seen as the third striker behind Robert Lewandowski and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. This season, Flick called on Zirkzee only four times. He played three times in the Bundesliga and was allowed to come in in the Champions League match against Atlético Madrid (1-1). Bayern would see the youngster renting out to allow him to gain experience elsewhere.

Last transfer period, Zirkzee was already close to a departure, when he was repeatedly associated with Feyenoord, but it did not come to a transfer to Rotterdam-South. Köln was also interested in Zirkzee last summer and has according to Sky and BILD again good papers to bring in the attacker. “We were in touch. I spoke with Hasan (Salihamidzic, ed.) And Hansi (Flick, ed.), But it just wasn’t the right time, ”said General Manager Horst Heldt at the time.

Zirkzee still has a contract with Bayern until mid-2023 and gave talks with it in November Algemeen Dagblad to be open to a temporary departure from Munich. “It is important that I play full matches. I try to stay fit and if I can leave on a rental basis during the winter break, that might be an option. ” He said there was interest during the summer window. “Only there was too little time on the deadline day. Feyenoord? I have never spoken to Feyenoord myself. ”
