Frankfurt reportedly put Magassa on shortlist

Eintracht Frankfurt’s reported interest in Soungoutou Magassa still traces back to Bild. Bulinews says the West Ham midfielder is on Frankfurt’s shortlist, and Claret & Hugh has now repeated that account as a possible ‘second attempt’ to sign him.

Frankfurt were also interested before Magassa joined West Ham last summer. That history explains the wording, but the latest article adds no transfer step. It reports no bid, negotiations, personal terms or agreement.
