Elias Egouli set for long-term move to SV Elversberg

Elias Egouli is set to take the next big step in his career, with a move to SV Elversberg essentially wrapped up according to German media reports.

The 23-year-old centre-back, who stands at an imposing 2.04 meters, has reportedly agreed terms with the Bundesliga club, with only the medical checks scheduled for next week still pending.

Sky reports that all parties have reached full agreement, including a transfer fee of around 1 million euros to his current club Fortuna Düsseldorf. Once the formalities are complete, Egouli is expected to sign a contract running until 2030, underlining Elversberg’s long-term faith in his potential. The move had already been foreshadowed by earlier coverage from Bild, which highlighted the negotiations and likely deal structure.

Egouli earned a regular starting place in Düsseldorf last season, making 24 competitive appearances and scoring once, a strong return for a young defender still establishing himself at professional level. Now he is poised to test himself in the Bundesliga, a clear promotion in his career path. While the transfer has yet to be officially confirmed by the clubs, all signs point to Elversberg having identified another promising talent before he fully emerges on the wider radar.
