Aaron Opoku is being linked with a return to German football, with 2. Bundesliga side Eintracht Braunschweig reportedly interested in prising the right-back away from Turkish club Kayserispor.
The 26-year-old defender, who holds both German and Ghanaian nationality, is rumoured to be on Braunschweig’s radar as they explore options to strengthen the right side of their back line. German outlet Transfermarkt lists the move as a rumour with the probability still unclear (“?”), but the link has prompted discussion over Opoku’s future in the Süper Lig and the possibility he could become available, potentially even as a free agent depending on how his situation at Kayserispor develops, with no contract details publicly indicated in the data.
Opoku currently carries a market value of €800k, a figure that could make him a comparatively affordable option for a 2. Bundesliga club seeking experience without paying a premium fee. Having only recently moved from 1. FC Kaiserslautern to Kayserispor, his next step is already under scrutiny, though there is no indication yet of formal negotiations or an agreed deal between the clubs.
Born in Hamburg on 28 March 1999 and standing at 1.86m, Opoku came through the Hamburger SV youth ranks before progressing to the first team and embarking on a sequence of loans with FC Hansa Rostock and SSV Jahn Regensburg, then VfL Osnabrück. A permanent switch to Kaiserslautern in 2022 kept him in German professional football before his move to Türkiye’s Süper Lig with Kayserispor.
While recent match-by-match details are not provided in the available data, his steady rise in market value over several seasons suggests consistent performances across 2. Bundesliga, 3. Liga and now the Turkish top flight. If a transfer to Braunschweig does materialise, it could represent both a tactical boost for the Lions and a pivotal moment for Opoku to reassert himself in German football and shape the next phase of his career.
