One player already had a contract running until June 30, 2028, but in a short time, this pro played his way into the spotlight so quickly that he was offered a new contract.
Eintracht Frankfurt is very impressed with one of its goalkeepers: Kaua Santos has signed a new contract with the Bundesliga club.
The goalkeeper has extended his contract with Eintracht Frankfurt ahead of schedule until June 30, 2030.
The Brazilian arrived in Hesse from Rio de Janeiro in August 2023, where he was part of coach Jan Zimmermann’s goalkeeping team from the start. In his first season with Eintracht, he played 13 games for the U21 team in the Regionalliga Südwest.
In the current season, Santos, who has played two games for Brazil’s U20 national team, made his professional debut for Eintracht Frankfurt. On the third matchday of the Bundesliga, he replaced injured captain Kevin Trapp in the second half of the away game against VfL Wolfsburg. The 21-year-old also guarded the Frankfurt goal in the five subsequent games across all competitions.
This boy in goal was amazing. Unbelievable what he saved.

The Brazilian’s previous contract was valid until June 30, 2028. It has now been extended early until 2030.
Eintracht sporting director Markus Krösche explains: “Kaua has developed well over the past few months and we are firmly convinced of his potential. We want to work with him in the long term and are delighted that we have been able to extend his contract until 2030.”
Goalkeeping coach Jan Zimmermann adds: “We’ve recently had a taste of Kaua’s capabilities. I look forward to continuing to work with him on his potential.“
”I am very happy to be here and to have extended my contract early. I will continue to work hard and want to achieve a lot with Eintracht,” said Kaua Santos, who recently played in goal in the 3-3 draw against FC Bayern Munich.
Bayern pro Thomas Müller told pay-TV channel Sky: “That boy in goal was incredible. Unbelievable what he saved.” The Eintracht officials saw that too and quickly extended his contract until 2030.
