Younes Ebnoutalib is being linked with a move from 2. Bundesliga side SV Elversberg to Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, with the probability of a transfer currently rated at 54%.

The 22-year-old centre-forward, who represents both Germany and Morocco at nationality level, is the subject of growing speculation after a sharp rise in his estimated market value to €1.50m. Data from Transfermarkt indicates Frankfurt are monitoring the striker as a potential attacking option, though no agreement between the clubs has been reported and the move remains at rumour stage.

Ebnoutalib only joined SV Elversberg from FC Gießen in the 2024/25 season but has developed quickly enough to draw top-flight interest. While details of his current deal are not disclosed, the possibility of future free‑agent status will likely form part of any strategic calculations by both Elversberg and Frankfurt as they assess his long‑term value.

Born in Frankfurt am Main on 13 September 2003, the 1.91m right‑footed forward has taken an unusual route towards the Bundesliga radar. After time in the youth ranks of SG Rot-Weiss Frankfurt and SV Wehen Wiesbaden at U17 level, he moved to Italy with Perugia Primavera before stepping up to AC Perugia’s first team. A spell without a club in early 2024 preceded his switch back to Germany with FC Gießen and then Elversberg.

That journey has been mirrored in his valuation: from €25,000 at Perugia Primavera and AC Perugia, down to zero while unattached, then up to €150,000 on arrival at Elversberg before leaping to €1.50m in October 2025. There are no recent match specifics recorded in the data, but such a rise suggests sustained progress in the 2. Bundesliga.

If Frankfurt choose to formalise their interest, a move to the Bundesliga could mark a pivotal step in Ebnoutalib’s career, offering a platform to establish himself at the highest level in Germany and to further enhance his reputation across both his German and Moroccan football pathways.
