Brentford are reported to be tracking Eintracht Frankfurt attacking midfielder Farès Chaïbi in a potential Premier League move.
The 23-year-old, valued at €15.00m on Transfermarkt, has been linked with a switch from the Bundesliga side to the west London club, with the latest rumour emerging on 5 March 2026. The probability of any deal remains unclear, with the move currently listed as “?” and no agreement in place between the clubs.
Chaïbi, who represents Algeria but also holds French nationality, has been with Frankfurt since August 2023 after joining from Toulouse. A right-footed attacking midfielder, he wears the number 8 shirt for the German club and is regarded as a versatile creative option between midfield and attack.
No contract expiry date is listed for Chaïbi at Frankfurt, leaving open future scenarios that could range from a fee-based transfer to him running down his deal and exploring free-agent options further down the line. For Brentford, who have often targeted emerging talents from continental leagues, a player with a €15.00m valuation would fit their established recruitment model if Frankfurt are prepared to negotiate.
Born in Lyon on 28 November 2002 and standing at 1.83m, Chaïbi came through the youth ranks at FC Lyon before moving to Toulouse’s under-19s in 2019. He progressed to Toulouse FC B in 2020, then into the first team in 2022, where strong early performances in Ligue 1 and cup competitions helped his market value rise rapidly from €50,000 to €10m within a year.
Since joining Frankfurt, his valuation has fluctuated but returned to €15.00m by December 2025, reflecting his continued prominence in a major European league. Any move to Brentford would give Chaïbi a first taste of English football and could prove a defining step in his career, shaping both his reputation in the Premier League and his long-term international prospects with Algeria if the transfer ultimately materialises.
