==Career== Streit signed a three-year contract with Eintracht Frankfurt following the relegation of his previous team, 1. FC Köln, on 9 May 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 was not training 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 Joachim Löw has so far refused to nominate him.
In October 2007, Eintracht chairman Heribert Bruchhagen offered him an improved two-year contract, but Streit announced on 12 November that he signed a four-year contract for Schalke beginning in summer of 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.schalke04.de/1249.html?&tx_ttnews%5BpS%5D=1195075338&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=9809&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=1921&cHash=618e2d5980 |title=Streit handed four-year deal from summer 2008 |publisher=schalke04.de |accessdate=13 November 2007 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071212142649/http://www.schalke04.de/1249.html |archivedate=12 December 2007 }}</ref> But in December 2007, Eintracht Frankfurt agreed to a prematurely move of Streit to Schalke in January 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.schalke04.de/news_single_english.html?&tx_ttnews%5BpS%5D=1198084980&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=9990&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=1921&cHash=3219fe4e02 |title=Streit to join Schalke earlier than planned |publisher=schalke04.de |accessdate=13 November 2007 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071123151427/http://www.schalke04.de/news_single_english.html |archivedate=23 November 2007 }}</ref>
