The German team gave birth to a new Ram, a 22-year-old boy who made 3 in 8 games! His worth tripled in 1 year, and wealthy clubs are eyeing him

Nathaniel Brown, the 22-year-old German defender with a knife, has performed amazingly in the Bundesliga this season. Not only is he solid defensively, but he also contributed 1 goal and 2 assists on the offensive end, in only 8 league games. With his comprehensive performance on both offense and defense, he was selected for the German national team and made his debut; he quickly became the hottest new defensive favorite in the entire European transfer market.

According to exclusive news from "Bild", the four major clubs including Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester City and AC Milan have all included Brown on their priority signing list. Frankfurt's young star can bring huge income to the club.

In the just-concluded European Cup qualifiers, Brown finally made his dream debut for the German national team. In the game against Luxembourg, he started the game and performed steadily and calmly, showing a mature temperament that belies his age. Gaining the trust of coach Nagelsmann is a new starting point for a 22-year-old defender. Brown can play both as a central defender and as a full-back. He is regarded as a new generation of Ram-style all-around defender and a key puzzle piece for the future reconstruction of the national team.

In Frankfurt's tactical system, he is both the core of defense and the first point of attack. In the first 8 games of this season, he averaged 2.3 steals, 4.1 clearances, and 1.8 interceptions per game. He also had 1 goal and 2 assists. Among Bundesliga defenders, such offensive and defensive statistics are extremely rare. Especially in the game against Dortmund, Brown's defense was textbook. He has repeatedly used his excellent physical confrontation and anticipation skills to resolve dangerous situations. After the game, he was even rated as one of the highest-rated defenders in the game by "Kicker". This also made him quickly become the focus of scouts from wealthy clubs.

According to German media reports, AC Milan was the first team to take action. As early as this summer window, they tried to offer Brown 40 million euros, but were flatly rejected by Frankfurt. Subsequently, teams such as Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Manchester City joined the competition one after another. The European defense market was turbulent for a while, and Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Manchester City also successively joined the competition.

According to Bild's estimate, Brown's current worth is close to 60 million euros, three times more than a year ago. More importantly, he extended his contract with Frankfurt in February this year until 2030, and there is no termination clause in the contract. This means that Frankfurt has absolute initiative. The club management has made it clear that as long as Brown does not actively ask to leave the team, they will not consider selling him. If a wealthy club wants to sign Brown, it will have to "bleed a lot" to make it work.
