Eintracht Frankfurt sports director Markus Krösche expressed pride and satisfaction over the transfer of left-back Nathaniel Brown (23) to Bayern Munich for a Bundesliga-record €55 million. The move makes Brown the most expensive transfer within the German top flight, surpassing Julian Draxler's €43 million move from Schalke to Wolfsburg in 2015. Krösche noted the unusual proximity of the two clubs' training locations (Chiemsee and Tegernsee, about 60 km apart) and emphasized that Brown's decision to stay in the Bundesliga is positive for German football, contrasting with recent high-profile departures abroad by players like Woltemade, Wirtz, Ekitiké, and Marmoush. The transfer is seen as a validation of Eintracht Frankfurt's player development program.

Grassau – With Eintracht Frankfurt based near the Chiemsee and Bayern Munich near the Tegernsee, there is a curious coincidence for Nathaniel Brown (23): only about 60 kilometers now separate his former club from his new one.

The left-back completed his move to the record champions this summer, and Frankfurt remains proud of the deal. Sports director Markus Krösche (45) commented:

"That is also an honor. First for Nene, but of course also for us as Eintracht Frankfurt. That we have players with us who develop so well that they then go to Bayern Munich."

The transfer fee stands at €55 million, making the Germany international the most expensive transfer within the Bundesliga. The previous record was held by Julian Draxler, who moved from Schalke to Wolfsburg for €43 million in 2015.

Krösche added:

"You can see from history that this doesn't happen very often, which is why this transfer is also something special. And it's also a nice story that Nene stays in the Bundesliga. If you look at recent years, whether Woltemade, Wirtz, Ekitiké or Marmoush, they all went abroad. It's good for German football that he stays in Germany."
