Braunschweig loans Faride Alidou from FCK - Faride Alidou joins Eintracht Braunschweig on loan with permanent option
Eintracht Braunschweig has brought in forward Faride Alidou on loan for the rest of the 2025-26 season. The 23-year-old arrives from 1. FC Kaiserslautern, with the deal including an option for a permanent transfer. Both clubs believe the move will help him regain match fitness and form after limited playing time this campaign.
Alidou began his career at Hamburger SV’s youth academy before making the step up to professional football. Over the years, he has featured for Eintracht Frankfurt, 1. FC Köln, and Hellas Verona, alongside spells at his parent club and Kaiserslautern. This marks his third loan move, highlighting a career in search of consistent opportunities.
In 41 Bundesliga appearances, the forward has found the net four times. While his goal tally remains modest, his experience in top-flight football has drawn attention. Braunschweig’s sporting director, Benjamin Kessel, described him as a dynamic, intelligent player with a natural eye for goal. The agreement between Kaiserslautern and Braunschweig includes a purchase option, giving the 2. Bundesliga side flexibility. Both clubs have openly stated that regular game time is essential for Alidou to rediscover his best performances.
Alidou will now aim to make an impact at Eintracht Braunschweig until the end of the season. The loan provides him with a chance to rebuild confidence and sharpness on the pitch. If successful, the club holds the option to secure his services on a permanent basis.
