Frankfurt After Cacau And Mantzios


Eintracht need a partner to join new signing Martin Fenin up front and the latest object of their desires appears to be VfB’s Cacau.

“I can’t confirm anything” said Frankfurt press spokesman Carsten Knoop. “At the moment we are being linked with lots of names. The latest was Peruvian Fano Espinoza, with whom we haven’t made any contact.

“The fact is that our manager Heribert Bruchhagen is with us at the training camp, so is therefore not negotiating with Cacau” he explained.

Cacau however has not travelled with Stuttgart to their training camp because he is recovering from a shoulder operation in Germany.

The 26 year old Brazilian has scored 44 Bundesliga goals in 156 appearances with both Nürnberg and Stuttgart.

Another name being strongly linked to the Adler is that of Evangelos Mantzios from Panathinaikos.

The 24 year old Greek is a more concrete transfer target for trainer Friedhelm Funkel.

“We have an interest in him, that is true” the trainer admitted.

“Talks and contract negotiations are underway, but it could take a while.

“We are under no time pressure so will take our time” he added.
