Eintracht Frankfurt often has a good nose for new signings.

Nevertheless, the SGE was clearly wrong for some players in the last 20 years.

1 / 1010th place: Anderson Ordonez moved from Barcelona to Frankfurt in January 2017 for €1m.

However, not from the Catalan world club, but from the Ecuadorian counterpart from Guayaquil.

After a year with injury problems and only four appearances, he returned to Ecuador, where he still plays today.

2 / 109th place: Ali Akman came to Eintracht in 2019 with a lot of early praise and plenty of drama from Buraspor.

Because he signed a preliminary contract in Germany, Buraspor did not let his top talent appear for the rest of the contract period.

The SGE paid a little extra, Akman came even earlier.

However, the striker has not been able to assert himself to this day.

He is on loan to Göztepe until the summer of 2023.

So far he has not scored a goal in Turkey.

The breakthrough in Frankfurt will probably not succeed.

3 / 108th place: Bas Dost joined the SBU of Sporting from Lisbon for a whopping 7 million euros.

After a promising start with three goals in five games, only five more goals followed in his debut season.

After a year and a half he left for €4m - a whopping €3m loss.

4 / 107th place: Lucas Alario came to Eintracht Frankfurt from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2022 for a similar amount (6 million euros).

With only 200 minutes of play and only a meager goal, the Argentine is a big flop - actually.

Because Alario still has the chance to turn things around and catapult himself off this list with goals on the assembly line.

5 / 106th place: Bundesliga veteran Nelson Valdez came to Main from the United Arab Emirates on a free transfer in 2014.

But the Paraguayan tore his cruciate ligament in his third game.

At the end of the season he came back for eight missions before leaving the SGE again.

After all: In his comeback against Paderborn, the attacker scored and caused great emotions.

6 / 105th place: Very few Eintracht fans will remember Tommy Berntsen.

Moved from Lillestrom, Norway to Frankfurt in 2001 for the then dizzying transfer fee of around EUR 1.9 million, it was only enough for three short assignments in two months.

The Norwegian was not deployed for nine months before returning home.

7 / 104th place: Signed as a top talent by Rapid Vienna for 2.3 million euros, Ümit Korkmaz was never able to live up to Eintracht's expectations.

Numerous injuries prevented the Austrian from playing many games in a row.

Nevertheless, the now 37-year-old is always a welcome guest in Frankfurt.

8 / 10 3rd place: Dejan Joveljic joined the Adlerträger with similarly high expectations.

The club paid a whopping 4 million euros in 2019 for the hopeful talent at Red Star Belgrade.

But the Serb never prevailed.

After two loan deals, the step to Los Angeles followed in the summer of 2021 - without ever having scored a Bundesliga goal.

With a transfer fee of 3.5 million euros, at least the financial damage could be kept within limits.

9 / 102nd place: 3 Milo.

Eintracht Steven Zuber cost themselves euros.

In 23 appearances he could not win the hearts of the SGE fans and mostly disappointed.

After all, his loan deal and subsequent transfer deal to Athens flushed 2 million euros back into the coffers of the Hessians.

10 / 101st place: Even the general conditions of Eintracht's biggest flop of all time were suspicious.

The Frankfurt team paid 3.6 million euros for Sam Lammers' one-year loan deal to Atalanta Bergamo.

The Dutchman seems like a foreign body in the game of the SBU in each of his mostly short assignments.

The completely overpriced rental deal became a big disappointment.

A subsequent purchase was never an option, so the attacker had to go back to Italy after a year.
