According to numerous reliable reports, Sergi Altimira Clavell's proposed switch to Frankfurt is off, with the midfielder now set to stay at Real Betis. Despite strong links and advanced talks, the transfer has broken down. It's a setback for Frankfurt, who had hoped to strengthen their squad in a key position before the deadline. With negotiations ending unsuccessfully, Sergi Altimira Clavell will not join Frankfurt - but interest from Stuttgart could yet reignite. In season 25/26, Frankfurt are conceding 2.6 goals per game (13 in 5 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Sergi Altimira Clavell would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Alongside this, Real Betis are said to be exploring Sofyan Amrabat, Patson Daka and Dani Ceballos with Frankfurt likewise connected to Matthis Abline and Rasmus Winther Hojlund.
