Soungoutou Magassa is being linked with a move from West Ham United to Eintracht Frankfurt, with the probability of a transfer currently rated at 55%.
The 22-year-old defensive midfielder, who represents both France and Mali at nationality level, is the subject of growing speculation over a switch from the Premier League to the Bundesliga, according to data compiled on 7 December 2025. While no agreement has been confirmed between the clubs, Frankfurt are understood to be exploring the possibility of adding the West Ham midfielder to their squad.
Magassa’s situation at West Ham is attracting attention partly because key contractual details have not been disclosed in the available data, leaving open the prospect that he could become a free agent if no extension is agreed. That uncertainty, combined with a current market value of €17.00m following his move to the London club, has fuelled talk of a potential deal which might be more accessible for Frankfurt than a full-fee, long-term purchase in other circumstances.
Born in Stains on 8 October 2003 and standing at 1.90m, Magassa came through the AS Monaco system, progressing from Monaco’s youth ranks to the U19s and U21s before reaching the first team. His market value rose sharply during his time in Ligue 1, climbing from €200,000 with Monaco U21 in March 2022 to €10m by October 2023, underlining his development into a physically imposing midfielder capable of operating at the base of midfield.
Now registered with West Ham and listed primarily as a defensive midfielder, Magassa has already experienced top-flight football in both France and England. A move to Frankfurt would add the Bundesliga to that CV and offer a different tactical environment, and if the mooted transfer does materialise, it could mark the next decisive step in shaping his reputation as a versatile, high-value midfielder on the European stage.
