RW Essen are being linked with a move for SC Freiburg II defender Franci Bouebari as the 22-year-old weighs up his next step in Germany.
The Rot-Weiss Essen interest centres on a potential transfer from Freiburg’s second team into the 3. Liga, with the deal currently listed as a rumour and the probability of it happening marked as unclear (?). Bouebari’s contractual situation at Freiburg II has not been disclosed, fuelling talk that the French-born defender could become a free agent if no extension is agreed.
Bouebari, valued at around €250,000, operates primarily as a left-back but is listed more broadly as a defender and is noted for being comfortable with both feet, an attribute that would appeal to a club seeking flexibility across the back line. Standing at 1.87m, he would add height and physical presence to an Essen side looking to consolidate in Germany’s third tier.
Born in Strasbourg on 12 September 2003, Bouebari holds dual nationality with France and DR Congo. He has been developing in the German system with SC Freiburg II in the Regionalliga Südwest, where he has gained senior experience away from the top-flight spotlight. His more recent registration shows him at RW Essen with the number 19 shirt, underlining that talks over his long-term status at the club level remain a live topic.
No formal transfer fee has been reported and, with his contract details not publicly available, the possibility of a free transfer remains part of the speculation. Recent match data, including specific opponents, dates and scorelines, has not been disclosed in the available information, so there is no verified breakdown of his latest performances.
If the move is completed, a switch from Freiburg II to RW Essen in the 3. Liga could prove a significant staging post in Bouebari’s career, offering a larger platform on which to enhance his reputation and unlock his potential at professional level.
