Hallescher FC are reported to be exploring a move for Rot-Weiß Erfurt centre-forward Obed Chidindu Ugondu in a deal that could see the Nigerian leave as a free agent.
The 24-year-old, valued at €175k on Transfermarkt, is currently on the books of Erfurt in the Regionalliga Nordost, with online transfer data listing no fixed contract expiry date – a detail that has fuelled speculation he could be available without a fee if talks over an extension do not progress.
Ugondu, who wears the number 13 shirt and stands at 1.86m, is a right-footed central striker by trade. Born on 22 April 2002 in Nigeria, he is listed with Nigerian nationality and is classified primarily as an attack-focused centre-forward. Both Erfurt and Hallescher FC operate in the same division, meaning any switch would be a lateral move within the Regionalliga Nordost but potentially a step up in profile and opportunity.
The latest rumours, scraped on 8 May 2026, place the probability of the transfer as “?” – underlining that talks, if they are happening, remain at an early and uncertain stage. No transfer fee has been detailed beyond his indicative market value.
Recent match data shows Ugondu featuring for Rot-Weiß Erfurt in the Regionalliga Nordost this season, though specific goal and assist tallies are not listed in the available source material. The lack of a clearly defined contract end date means both a traditional transfer and a free-agent scenario remain on the table, heightening interest in how Erfurt choose to handle his situation.
If a move to Hallescher FC does materialise, it would offer Ugondu the chance to sharpen his reputation in German football’s fourth tier and position himself for a future step into the professional leagues.
