According to Bild, club officials want to reward Knauffs performances and ensure long-term stability by locking him into a new contract. A significant pay raise is expected to come with the extended terms.Eintrachts approach not only reflects their appreciation for Knauffs contribution but also serves a strategic purpose. Tying him down early would place the club in a strong position should offers arrive from Europes elite.Transfermarkt currently values Knauff at 15 million, a figure likely to rise if his development continues on its current path. Talks over the deal are planned for the coming season, as Frankfurt looks to secure one of their most promising assets before competition heats up.
