AC Milan are being linked with a move for Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu amid uncertainty over his long‑term future in the Bundesliga.
The 23-year-old, valued at €20.00m on Transfermarkt, is rumoured to be on the Serie A club’s radar according to transfer listings dated 22 April 2026, with the probability of a deal currently marked as “?”. Atubolu is registered to Freiburg and wears the No 1 shirt, but his contract details and expiry date are not publicly specified, prompting speculation he could become a free agent in a future window if an agreement over fresh terms is not reached.
Born in Freiburg im Breisgau on 25 May 2002 and standing at 1.90m, Atubolu has emerged as one of the most highly regarded young goalkeepers in Germany. The right-footed stopper, who holds both German and Nigerian nationality, plays his club football in the Bundesliga and is listed in his main position as a goalkeeper only, with no secondary roles.
Freiburg’s homegrown player has been a regular in goal this season, featuring most recently in the Bundesliga against [opponent not specified in available data] on [date not specified], a match that ended [scoreline not specified], where he again completed 90 minutes for SC Freiburg. While detailed performance statistics from that fixture are not provided in the current data, his status as Freiburg’s first-choice keeper underlines why Milan are monitoring his situation.
Any move to Milan would take Atubolu from Germany’s top flight to Serie A, where the Rossoneri have a long history of investing in young goalkeepers. With his market value at €20.00m and his contractual situation unclear, the structure of any potential deal – transfer fee or a future free-agent switch – remains open.
If the transfer were to materialise, a move to AC Milan could prove a decisive step in Atubolu’s career, offering a new platform in Italian football to enhance his reputation and fulfil his potential at elite European level.
