Frankfurt striker Ekitic has returned to the team for training, and the transfer rumors about him are still ongoing. In an interview with Bistro, Frankfurt veteran Chandler said he did not think Ekitic would stop training for the transfer.

Ekitic was in excellent form during Friday's training, making it feel like he was being pursued by several top European teams. Bistro said that Frankfurt fans are familiar with this situation: Muani was also in excellent condition in the summer of 2023, in good condition, in high spirits and close to fans during the preparation period. No one expected that he would later coerce the transfer to Paris by stopping the training. In the end, Frankfurt could only compensate for the tough tricks of senior executives Crosher and Hermann.

A question people are asking now is: Will Ekitic have a similar transfer storm? In response to this, the 35-year-old veteran Chandler responded: "I really don't think so, I have to say that. He is very open about it, we talked about it on the first day. If he stays, he will do his best for Frankfurt. I totally believe in him."

Chandler is regarded as a key figure in the locker room: he can afford to joke and can also talk seriously with his teammates when necessary. However, the report also stated: No one thought Muani would do that at the beginning, but in the end he deviated from the track under the influence of his confidants.

As for Ekitic, this situation should not happen again: first because he has a clear attitude, and secondly because people around him—including his brother who is an agent—will not take that approach. At least the rumor sounds like this.

Chandler continued: "He is working hard. This must be said. And he said: 'If something happens, it happens; if not, it doesn't.' As long as he is still here, he will do his best. He is a very, very good guy. I also know that even if he stays in the end, he will devote himself to it." The report said that no club has officially made a offer to Frankfurt, and Ekitic has not reached an agreement with any team. But Liverpool in particular, they are currently fully prepared to participate in the battle and they are still regarded as the hottest candidates.

For the 23-year-old striker, Frankfurt is currently asking for a transfer fee of 100 million euros from suitors, including Liverpool. If Liverpool or other teams can't get close to this number, Ekitic will stay and there will obviously be no interference noise this time.
