  "account": "Eintracht Frankfurt is reportedly eyeing a transfer for former SC Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu, according to Kicker. The German club is reportedly considering a move for the 24-year-old, who is being touted as their \"preferred solution\" to bolster their first-choice goalkeeper position. Current first-choice keeper Kauã Santos has been plagued with recurring injuries and has faced criticism when he is fit to play. Michael Zetterer, who is currently the backup option, is also not considered reliable and may depart if the Atubolu transfer becomes a reality. Atubolu's future with Freiburg appears uncertain as Mio Backhaus has been brought in as his replacement. The young goalkeeper has been linked with several top clubs, including Olympique Marseille, Bournemouth, Juventus, and Napoli, but no deal has materialized yet. Reports suggest that Freiburg had previously rejected an initial offer from Marseille, valuing Atubolu at around €15-20 million.",
