National goalkeeper Kevin Trapp has responded to the rumors that he is a candidate for FC Bayern. Although he feels flattered, in his opinion a transfer makes no sense.

Anyway, I wish him a speedy recovery and a speedy recovery,” said Trapp in the Eintracht Frankfurt training camp when asked if he could imagine a role as a new representative. “I didn’t really bother with it. Of course I read it, it wasn’t possible not to read it. When something like that comes up, it’s a nice sign, because it’s a confirmation of the achievements.”

He further joked: “The only thing that was hot was the sun on holiday.” In addition, Trapp emphasized that his side “certainly did not fake it”. “We don’t need that, but Markus has already made that clear.” He was alluding to the statement by sports director Markus Krösche, who had described the speculation as “a story made up by the consultants” and “complete nonsense”.
