Union Berlin are being linked with a move for Hoffenheim centre-forward Ihlas Bebou as the 32-year-old approaches the final phase of his contract situation in Sinsheim.
The Bundesliga transfer rumour, logged on 8 May 2026, suggests Union are considering the Togo- and Germany-qualified attacker as a potential low-cost addition, with his current market value listed at €800k. The probability of the move remains unclear and has been reported as “?”, while the absence of a stated contract expiry at Hoffenheim raises the prospect that Bebou could become a free agent if no new deal is agreed.
Bebou, who wears the number 9 shirt for Hoffenheim, has been used primarily as a central striker but is also comfortable across the front line, operating as an attack-minded, right-footed forward. Standing at 1.85m, he offers a blend of physical presence and mobility that could appeal to Union as they reshape their attacking options for the coming campaign.
Born in Aledjo Kadara on 23 April 1994, Bebou holds both Togolese and German nationality. His performances in the Bundesliga with Hoffenheim have helped maintain his valuation, though €800k would represent a modest outlay for a club seeking experienced depth in the final third.
The latest update on his market value and status was scraped on 8 May 2026, with no confirmation from either club on talks or a formal bid. No official details have been released regarding recent match-by-match statistics, though Bebou has continued to feature in the German top flight for Hoffenheim this season.
Should a deal materialise, whether for a fee or as a free agent if his contract is allowed to run down, a switch to Union Berlin would offer Bebou a fresh chapter in the Bundesliga and the opportunity to re-establish himself as a decisive figure in a new attacking set-up.
