Figured I'd start this up because things have kicked off today. Freiburg started looking at him sometime after last season. Then, apparently Taylor Twellman said there's strong interest from Germany for Aaronson on tonight's broadcast. I'm not on that feed so I don't know if that's exactly what he said. And Transfermarkt is reporting Hoffenheim, Monchengladbach and Frankfurt are also monitoring. So it seems that German interest is definitely there.
this thread from last season is also pretty nice.
Aaronson is only 18, but he's in his third season of men's football. Let's look at his stats using a Bundesliga standard, since, honestly, if we were a smarterscout young prospect from the USA, that's where we'd want to go. He's already close to average for an AM!

kind of interesting seeing the goretzka comp because frankly a guy like aaronson is exactly what schalke is missing and the price would presumably right compared to what they could get for the same amount in europe? 5.
rotundo is coming. 2-3 years of everything bodes well 6.

There goes the U.S. media over-hyping its players..
oh wait... 9.
no you’re safe. it was taylor twellman that said it 10.
Aarason's decision making making needs to catch up to that silky smooth first touch and slick passing ability. It's a clear notch below where Adam's was when he left for Europe. On his athleticism; it's nice to see that he's developed a nice 10 yard burst since coming into the MLS. 11.

Posted this in the US Men's forum but Bild is reporting Eintract Frankfurt want to sign Brenden Aaronson.
Bild is a pretty legit source... like best in Germany with Frankfurt calling Aaronson "The American Havertz"

So thoughts? Seems like Aaronson is somewhat of a forgotten prospect as in he isnt talked about much. But Gladbach, Freiburg, and Hoffenheim are all rumored as well, Frankfurt is the strongest link 13.

I don’t agree at all with the Havertz comparison but Frankfurt would be a perfect place for Brendan to go. Everyone should be behind that move 14.
again, the havertz comp comes from the mouth of taylor twellman during an mls is back match. 15.
FWIW there is a thread in the academy forum on this.
*Not trying to get in a debate about the appropriate forum location for such a thread. 16.

Didn't see this thread when I made the one in the main. But as I said there I feel like many underrate Aaronson as a prospect. The Frankfurt link seems pretty strong per Bild and they're as reliable as you can get with German news. And if word is to be believed, Frankfurt is going to be forced to sell some players so getting a young cheap player would make sense for them
TimB4Last and bungadiri repped this. 18.
@bungadiri When you get around to combining the Aaronson threads ...

Is this official? Weird to change the title for just a rumor... 21.
It's not official and the title shouldn't have been changed 22.
celtic & an unnamed belgian side 23.
unrelated but s/o to @ShaftBrewer for triggering all this. some would classify such behavior as an “influencer” 24.
