Farès Chaïbi: Eintracht Frankfurt playmaker linked with surprise Como switch

Share This Article:

Farès Chaïbi is being linked with a move from Eintracht Frankfurt to Serie A side Como, with the Algerian‑French attacker’s future increasingly under scrutiny.

Transfermarkt lists the 23-year-old attacking midfielder, who can operate across the advanced midfield line, as a current Eintracht Frankfurt player, but a fresh rumour dated 1 April 2026 connects him with ambitious Italian club Como 1907. The reported probability of the transfer is unclear, marked only as “?”, but the speculation comes with Chaïbi currently valued at €15.00m.

Crucially, no contract expiry date is recorded for Chaïbi at Frankfurt in the latest data, leaving open the possibility that he could run down his deal and become a free agent if no extension is agreed. That uncertainty is likely to fuel talk of a move, with Como eyeing value in a market where fees and wages are tightly scrutinised.

Chaïbi, born in Lyon on 28 November 2002 and standing at 1.83m, holds dual nationality with Algeria and France. A right-footed attacking midfielder, he wears the number 8 shirt at Frankfurt and has previously risen rapidly through the French system. After leaving FC Lyon’s youth ranks for Toulouse’s academy in 2019, he progressed from Toulouse U19 to Toulouse B in 2020 and then into the first team in July 2022.

His form in Ligue 1 with Toulouse triggered a steep rise in market value from €50,000 in June 2022 to €10m by March 2023, before Eintracht Frankfurt secured his services on 30 August 2023. In Germany, his valuation fluctuated but has recently stabilised again at €15m as of December 2025, underlining his continued standing as a significant asset in the Bundesliga.

While specific match details from recent Frankfurt fixtures are not provided in the available data, his sustained presence in the squad and repeated revaluation suggest regular involvement at top-flight level. That exposure to both Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga would be an attractive proposition for Como as they seek creative quality to consolidate their Serie A status.

With no confirmed transfer fee, no stated contract end date and only a question mark over the likelihood of the move, this remains firmly in the realm of rumour rather than a deal “advanced” or “imminent”. Even so, a switch from Frankfurt to Como – whether via transfer or eventual free-agent status – would offer Chaïbi a new tactical context in Italy’s top tier and could prove a pivotal step in shaping his reputation and long-term career trajectory.
