Albert Streit (born March 28, 1980 in Bucharest) is a German football player of German-Romanian ancestry.
Streit signed a three-year contract with Eintracht Frankfurt following the relegation of his previous team, 1. FC Köln, on May 9, 2006.
At the end of the season of 2006-07, he announced that had come to an agreement about his move to Schalke. Eintracht manager Friedhelm Funkel benched him for a few matches, arguing Streit would not train well. After an accord between Streit and Eintracht executive Heribert Bruchhagen he would have been allowed to move to Schalke if Streit would play hard in the final matches. The transfer finally failed because Schalke executive Andreas Müller refused to pay more than €2 million and Eintracht clearly turned down the offer.
Streit has repeatedly stated that his performances would be worthy to a call up for Germany, but Jogi Löw has so far refused to nominate him, obviously due his Streit's lack of team spirit, a result from his struggle to be sold to Schalke.
In October 2007 Eintracht chairman Heribert Bruchhagen offered him an improved two-year contract, but Streit announced on November 12 that he signed a four-year contract for Schalke 04 beginning in summer of 2008.[1] But in December 2007 Eintracht Frankfurt agreed to a prematurely move of Streit to Schalke in January 2008.[2]
