COVENTRY City have entered into advanced talks with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt over the signing of defender Aurele Amenda.

According to Sky Germany, the Sky Blues are ‘in advanced talks’ regarding the transfer of the centre-back.

The 22-year-old is currently at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Swizerland and has won seven caps for his country.

Amenda started his career at his native Young Boys before joining Frankfurt ahead of the 2024/25 season.

He helped Young Boys win a league and cup double while in his homeland and has since made 42 appearances for Frankfurt.

The centre-back made 24 appearances for Frankfurt in the Bundesliga in 2025/26 as the Eagles just missed out on European football.




Sky Germany report the player wants to play in the Premier League with Frankfurt prepared to sell the young defender.

Sky Sports News believe Coventry’s priority positions to strenghten are at centre-back, left-back and out wide.


Coventry have already seen a club-record bid for goalkeeper Carl Rushworth turned down by Brighton and Hove Albion.
