Robin Koch transfer update: Eintracht Frankfurt, West Ham, release clause clarified

<p>According to reports, Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt harbor an interest in Robin Koch, while West Ham are monitoring the situation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sky Sports DE say the Leeds defender will take time to evaluate his options before committing to a summer transfer.</p>

<p>However, he seems certain to leave, with the player wanting to be a regular starter at the highest possible level ahead of Euro 2024.</p>

<p>The report suggests that Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krosche is an admirer and will push to secure a deal.</p>

<p>Earlier reports have credited Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur with interest, while Newcastle United have also been mentioned.</p>

<p>Contrary to what's been said previously, the German will not be able to leave Elland Road for free this summer.</p>

<p>Sources close to the Yorkshire club have clarified that while Koch could leave on loan, thus completing the final year of his contract, he can't simply leave for free.</p>

<p>The Athletic writer Phil Hay said, "The club taking him on would have to take on his wages. What I can't tell is that if a loan offer is made, is if Leeds have to accept it. That's certainly what's been indicated."</p>

<p>Leeds would prefer to secure a fee for his services this summer having paid £13 million to sign him in 2020.</p>
