According to The Bild newspaper, Frankfurt hopes to renew their contract with veteran Makoto Hasebe, and in the next few months, they will finalize a new contract, which will be the fifth time that Frankfurt has renewed his contract with a Japanese defender.
Next January, Makoto Hasebe will celebrate his 38th birthday. However, it now looks like he will still be playing in the Bundesliga at the age of 39. Before the Christmas holiday, Frankfurt had already met with Makoto Hasebe, and they both hoped to continue to cooperate. At the age of 33, Makoto Hasebe revealed in an interview with Bild that he wanted to play until he was 40, but now it does not seem to be a vain goal.
For Eintracht Frankfurt, Makoto Hasebe remains a very important member of the squad. At the backline, he can advise young players like Tuta and Ndeka. With a 1-0 win over Mainz in the 17th round of the Bundesliga, Makoto Hasebe celebrated his 200th match in Eintracht Frankfurt.
