A colossus appeared in the German Bundesliga.
Germany's Bild reported on the 21st (Korea time) that Frankfurt earned 455 million euros (about 730 billion won) in profits over six years.
Bild said 'Director Marcus Krösche was criticized when he first came to Frankfurt, but he has shown outstanding performance over the past four years. Krösche said he brought talented players to Frankfurt with remarkable regularity and sold them at a high price once they finished their growth.
Director Krösche will always abide by the four iron rules. He does not include a release clause for any player. It also keeps players on the line for a long contract period. In addition, if a player shows rapid growth, the director tells interested clubs that it will not block the player's path. However, there is no bargaining. Also, he never recruits players for a price that they're trying to sell. It is expected to earn more than four times as much as ' he explained.

Frankfurt has recently made several big transfers and emerged as one of Europe's leading colossal teams. In 2023, it sold Randal Colomuani to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for 95 million euros, while Yesfer Linström sold it to Naples for 30 million euros (about 48 billion won). A year later, it sold Willian Pacho to PSG again for 40 million euros (about 64 billion won). In the previous winter transfer market, Manchester City took Omar Marmusch for 80 million euros (about 130 billion won).
He is also set to make a big transfer this summer. The main character is Hugo Ekittike. Ekitike, who was hired on loan from PSG in the summer of 2023, transferred to Frankfurt completely in the 2024-2025 season and immediately spread his wings. Liverpool agreed with Frankfurt this summer to recruit Ekittike for 95 million euros (about 150 billion won) along with 22 goals and 12 assists in 48 official matches.

What's more surprising is the amount of money it took to recruit them. Krösche and Frankfurt have invested only 20 million euros in the recruitment of Colomuani, Marmusch and Ekitike. However, the recruitment revenue is 270 million euros (about 430 billion won). It made more than 13 times profit. In the European league, Portuguese teams such as Benfica, Porto, and Sporting have been considered representative European giants, but Frankfurt is also not behind at all in recent returns. Even though it is a selling club, fans will also have higher expectations than disappointment if they show this level of skills.
It is expected that Frankfurt will continue to receive great attention this summer or next winter to sell which players at a huge price.
