Laura Freigang is the face of the Eintracht Frankfurt Women. The only question is: how much longer? The striker is currently avoiding questions about her future.
Laura Freigang and Eintracht Frankfurt simply belong together. That is the opinion of many fans, which is influenced by Freigang’s demeanor on and off the pitch. The native of Kiel has been in Frankfurt for six years, scores goals like on an assembly line and had the area code of the Main metropolis tattooed on her upper arm in 2022.
“It was in the euphoria when Eintracht reached the final of the Europa League. We also traveled to Barcelona at the time. I knew then that the city, no matter where I would be for the rest of my life, would always have a place in my life will have hearts,” the striker told Bild a year later.
Freigang still lacks a clear answer
Now it doesn’t seem impossible that Freigang will leave her beloved city on the Main. According to consistent media reports, the striker rejected an initial offer from Eintracht to extend her contract. Your current working paper ends in summer 2025.
Freigang responded to a corresponding question about her future with a laugh after the 2-0 win against Werder Bremen on Monday evening. “You have to ask, right?” she said on the Sport 1 microphone, but failed to answer. “It’s no secret that I feel very comfortable here. I still have a contract, we are constantly in discussions and we will continue to be,” said the 26-year-old. That’s all she can say about the matter. She couldn’t calm the fans down with that.
Other conversations are more important at the moment
At Eintracht, however, they are calm about the release of personnel. After all, the striker still has one year left on her contract. Of course there are already discussions about the future, but the priority lies elsewhere.
For top performers like Verena Hanshaw and Sophia Kleinherne, the contracts expire this summer. It’s quite possible that there will be news from the Bundesliga club here soon. The question of the future of free access will probably accompany the Hessians for a while.
