While Newcastle United celebrated William Osula's brilliant last-minute strike to beat Manchester United on Wednesday, Eintracht Frankfurt were disappointed.
This is according to the Frankfurter Rundschau. The German newspaper covered Osula today and reported how his goal may have caused disappointment in Frankfurt.
According to their information, the winning goal could have an impact on the Bundesliga side and their future transfer plans.
That late goal made a statement and was undoubtedly the 'absolute highlight' of the 22-year-old's career so far. But while Newcastle celebrated their 2–1 win with enthusiasm, the goal was a disappointment to Frankfurt and their transfer plans.
Frankfurt relocation efforts
The German side have already made two attempts to bring Osula to the club. Both efforts were in vain. On each occasion the transfer failed, even though the club and the player's representatives had apparently reached an agreement.
Now this statement goal has pushed Osula even further away. Frankfurt's once 'tangible dream' of signing him is seen as a 'distant possibility'.
transfer market Osula is already valued at €15 million but goals against Manchester United usually act as the catalyst. Newcastle United showed no interest in lowering his demands, especially in the January transfer window.
Now that Osula is scoring goals like this, the Magpies will be even less inclined to discount potential suitors.
Thus, the train has probably passed for Frankfurt. Even without the potential jump in market value, the deal was already a challenge for Osula. Now he may be completely out of the question financially.
Analysis: Osula and Newcastle United exit
What happens next with Osula remains to be seen. He has barely featured for Newcastle United this season following the arrivals of Nick Voltemed and Yoanne Wissa in the summer transfer window.
While his performance against Manchester United was 24th On the season, he has only managed 580 minutes in total. This is after managing only 421 minutes in all competitions last season.
Reports in Germany had made it clear that he wanted to leave St James' Park and was keen on a move to Frankfurt. Actually, a similar report came in December He said he expected to leave Newcastle at some point in the near future.
Contract, Price and Agent
Osula has a Newcastle United contract running until June 2029, and this is the same contract he signed upon his arrival. The transfermark value of €15m is clearly irrelevant to the Premier League club's demands.
