Talks between the clubs are already underway.A versatile attacker, Ansah has been deployed primarily on the left wing and as a center forward, with nine appearances in each position. He has also seen action in attacking midfield and on the right flank, making him a valuable asset for any offensive setup.Eintracht sees him as a promising addition for the future, with a transfer fee expected to range between 3 million and 5 million. His potential move is being discussed independently of any negotiations surrounding SC Freiburgs Ritsu Doan.One advantage Frankfurt holds in these negotiations is the close ties between their sporting director, Markus Krsche, and his former club, Paderborn.

Whether Ansah will be wearing the SGE colors next season remains to be seen.
