Paris-Bound Eintracht Captain Set for Comeback - Mr. Trapp's Account Upon His Renewed Arrival in Paris
Paris FC have announced the signing of former Paris Saint-Germain and Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper, Kevin Trapp, on a three-year deal. The 35-year-old German international will be joining the newly promoted Ligue 1 club, effective immediately.
Talks between Trapp and Paris FC have been ongoing for several weeks, and recent discussions have been reported to be very positive. The move comes as a surprise, as Trapp was previously linked with a return to Paris Saint-Germain, but it appears that the nine-time German international has decided to join Paris FC instead.
Trapp, who is said to still own an apartment in Paris, has personal ties to the city, with his partner currently residing there. His main residence is in Paris, and he previously played for Paris Saint-Germain from 2015 to 2018.
Despite the ongoing talks between Paris Saint-Germain and Trapp, the goalkeeper has not expressed any interest in returning to the club. Instead, he has decided to continue his career with Paris FC.
Trapp's contract with Eintracht Frankfurt was set to run until the summer of 2026, but he has now left the Bundesliga team to join Paris FC. The move is a significant one for Trapp, as he is set to return to Paris after a brief stint with Frankfurt.
The move was confirmed after Trapp completed a successful medical with Paris FC, and he has signed a three-year contract until 2028. The French newspaper "Le Parisien" has reported the move, with concrete interest in Trapp also reported by both "Bild" newspaper and Sky TV.
Trapp, who plays as a goalkeeper for Eintracht Frankfurt, is a popular figure in German football, and his move to Paris FC is sure to generate interest in the Ligue 1 club. He will be looking to help Paris FC establish themselves in the top flight of French football and build on their recent promotion.

The European-leagues' interest in Kevin Trapp's departure from Eintracht Frankfurt might have been diverted, as Trapp opted to join Paris FC rather than possibly re-joining Paris Saint-Germain. On a lighter note, prior to focusing on his new challenge in Ligue 1, Trapp could find time to catch up on his favorite European leagues, potentially including his beloved Laliga.
