Torino are reported to be weighing up a move for Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back Aurèle Amenda, with the Swiss-Cameroonian defender linked with a switch from the Bundesliga to Serie A.
Reports in Germany and Italy suggest the 22-year-old has emerged as a target for the Turin club, with data from Transfermarkt listing the probability of a deal at 28%. Amenda, whose current market value stands at €7.50m, is understood to be under contract at Frankfurt, but no expiry date is publicly available, raising the theoretical possibility he could move on in a cut-price deal or run down his terms in future windows.
The right-footed centre-back only formally joined Eintracht Frankfurt from BSC Young Boys in January 2024, before being loaned straight back to the Swiss champions and then returning to the Bundesliga in the summer. Having established himself in Switzerland’s top flight, a transfer to Italy would represent a second major move abroad in as many seasons.
Amenda’s value has risen sharply since he emerged from Young Boys’ youth system, climbing from €25,000 at U21 level in 2021 to a peak of €9.50m in mid-2024. That figure has since been adjusted down to €7.50m following his first months in Germany, a valuation that may appeal to Torino as they look for relatively affordable defensive reinforcement.
Born in Biel/Bienne on 31 July 2003 and standing at 1.94m, Amenda’s physical profile fits the mould of a modern Serie A centre-back. He has represented clubs in both the Swiss Super League and the Bundesliga and holds dual nationality with Switzerland and Cameroon, factors that could make him an intriguing long-term project for any suitor.
With no confirmed agreement in place and talks yet to be formalised publicly, Amenda’s future remains open – but a move to Torino would offer the young defender a fresh platform in one of Europe’s most tactically demanding leagues and could prove a pivotal step in shaping the next phase of his career.
