Stuttgart are weighing up a move for SV Elversberg striker Younes Ebnoutalib, with the 22-year-old reportedly a target as the Bundesliga side look to bolster their attacking options.
Data from transfer specialists lists a 41% probability that Ebnoutalib could swap the 2. Bundesliga for the top flight, with Stuttgart monitoring his rapid rise at Elversberg. The centre-forward is currently valued at €1.50m, a figure that has escalated sharply during 2025 and may make him an attractive, relatively low-cost option for a club seeking depth in attack.
The Germany- and Morocco-eligible forward joined Elversberg from FC Gießen and has since seen his market value grow from €150,000 at the start of the year to its current €1.50m. While there are no details in the data regarding a fixed contract end date, the absence of a clearly defined expiry has led to some speculation that his situation could develop to the point where a free-agent scenario might arise further down the line, adding another layer of intrigue to the rumour.
Born in Frankfurt am Main on 13 September 2003, the 1.91m right-footed striker has taken a circuitous route through European football. Youth spells in Germany with FC Kalbach, SV Heddernheim and SG Rot-Weiss Frankfurt were followed by a move to Italy with Perugia Primavera and then AC Perugia, before a brief period without a club and a return to Germany via Gießen.
Primarily deployed as a centre-forward, Ebnoutalib’s profile fits Stuttgart’s recent preference for physically strong, mobile attackers capable of developing resale value. Having already experienced different systems and leagues in Germany and Italy at a young age, a step up to the Bundesliga would represent the next stage of a fast-evolving career.
If the move does materialise, the transfer could prove pivotal for Ebnoutalib, offering a platform to establish himself in a major European league and potentially shape both his international prospects and long-term reputation.
