What happened: Hrvoje Smolcic has completed a move to Arca Çorum FK on a two-year deal that includes an option for a third season, with the transfer finalized today. Eintracht Frankfurt have given the green light to let the defender depart.

Why it matters: The exit trims Eintracht Frankfurt's defensive depth as the club reshapes its squad ahead of the upcoming season. Securing a multi-year commitment gives Arca Çorum FK a settled option at the back while Frankfurt free up a roster spot and wages.

What to watch: Watch for how Eintracht Frankfurt reinvest the freed-up squad room as their summer rebuild continues, and whether Smolcic slots straight into Arca Çorum's first-choice defense.
