Younes Ebnoutalib is being linked with a move from 2. Bundesliga side SV Elversberg to Bundesliga club Union Berlin, according to transfer data suggesting a 28% probability of the deal taking place.
The 22-year-old centre-forward, listed with dual Germany–Morocco nationality, has seen his estimated market value rise sharply to €6.00m, a figure that is fuelling speculation over a possible step up to the top flight. Data compiled on 21 December 2025 indicates Union have emerged as admirers as they look to bolster their attacking options.
Ebnoutalib currently plays through the middle in attack for Elversberg, wearing the number 22 shirt. Standing at 1.91m and preferring his right foot, he offers a physical presence and aerial threat, traits that would fit Union’s traditionally direct, hard‑running style. No fee or contract details have been agreed, and the interest remains in the realm of rumours rather than formal negotiation.
The forward’s career path has been unorthodox. Born in Frankfurt am Main on 13 September 2003, he progressed through several youth systems in Germany, including FC Kalbach, SV Heddernheim and SG Rot-Weiss Frankfurt, before spells at SV Wehen Wiesbaden’s youth teams. A move to Italy followed with Perugia Primavera and then AC Perugia’s senior set-up, before he returned to Germany, initially without a club, and then joined FC Gießen. From there he arrived at Elversberg, where his value has climbed rapidly from earlier assessments of €25,000 to the current €6m mark.
That rise has led to talk that, should no agreement be reached with Elversberg or a buyer, Ebnoutalib could again face a spell as a free agent in the future, a situation he has already experienced earlier in his career.
If Union Berlin do firm up their interest, a transfer could provide Ebnoutalib with a significant platform in the Bundesliga and a chance to shape his reputation at the highest level in German football.
