Career Achievements and Squad Impact
Trapp, originally developed at Kaiserslautern, boasts a career spanning stints at Kaiserslautern, Paris Saint-Germain, and two successful spells with Eintracht Frankfurt—amassing over 250 appearances for the latter. Internationally, he has been capped 9 times for Germany.
With Trapp’s exit, Eintracht wasted no time in reinforcing their goalkeeping options, signing 30-year-old Michael Zetterer from Werder Bremen. Zetterer has committed to Frankfurt until 2029, with media sources indicating a transfer fee of 5 million euros. The club are expected to hand him his debut in the Bundesliga’s opening fixture on Saturday—against his former employers, Werder Bremen.
“He has shown in Bremen that he is much better than the average goalkeeper, and with his mindset and ambition, he will be a perfect solution for us here in Frankfurt,” said Eintracht director Markus Krösche.
