Germany defender Koch extends Frankfurt deal

Germany centre-back Robin Koch has extended his contract with Eintracht Frankfurt by three years until 2030, the club announced on Tuesday.

Koch, 28, was reportedly a transfer target for Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund this summer, but elected to stay in Frankfurt as the club prepares to play Champions League football next season. 

"I often listen to my gut feeling on things and here too it told me relatively early on that it was only right to extend my contract," Koch said in a statement.

The defender arrived on loan from English club Leeds United in 2023 and joined Frankfurt on a free transfer a year later. 

Picking up 14 international caps since making his debut in 2019, Koch started both of Germany's Nations League matches in June.
