Theo Ogbidi is being linked with a move from Energie Cottbus to Regionalliga Nordost side Babelsberg 03, according to transfer data compiled on 2 February 2026.
The 25-year-old right winger, who represents both Germany and Nigeria at nationality level, is currently listed with a market value of €125k. Transfermarkt’s rumour listing connects the 3. Liga club with a potential deal involving Babelsberg 03, though the probability of the move is marked only as “?”, underlining the speculative nature of the reports. With no contract expiry date recorded for Ogbidi at Cottbus, observers have also noted the possibility that he could become a free agent, which may influence any negotiations.
Ogbidi, born in Halle (Saale) on 2 February 2001 and standing at 1.78m, joined Energie Cottbus from 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig ahead of the 2025–26 campaign. His valuation has fluctuated in recent years, climbing as high as €150k at Lokomotive Leipzig in June 2022 before stabilising at €125k with Cottbus by December 2025. That figure is now seen as a reference point in any potential transfer discussions, especially for a club operating at Regionalliga level.
Primarily deployed as an attacking right winger and preferring his right foot, Ogbidi has built his career across Germany’s lower professional tiers. He progressed through RB Leipzig’s youth ranks before spells at 1.FC Magdeburg’s U17 and U19 sides, then moved on to Chemnitzer FC and Lokomotive Leipzig prior to his current stint in Cottbus. Those steps have given him experience in both the 3. Liga and the Regionalliga Nordost, a background that may appeal to Babelsberg 03 as they look for proven attacking depth.
If a deal were to materialise, a switch to Babelsberg could offer Ogbidi a platform to reassert his value and shape the next phase of his career in German football.
