Younes Ebnoutalib is being linked with a move from SV Elversberg to Eintracht Frankfurt, with the mooted transfer currently rated at a 47% probability.
The 22-year-old centre-forward, who represents both Germany and Morocco at nationality level, is attracting increasing attention after a rapid rise in his valuation, with his market value listed at €6.00m. The rumour centres on a potential switch from 2. Bundesliga side Elversberg to Bundesliga outfit Frankfurt, though there is no agreement in place and no indication yet of contract length or terms.
Ebnoutalib’s status at Elversberg remains under contract according to the data provided, but the sharp progression of his market value over the past two years has fuelled speculation that he could soon move on. Having previously been valued as low as €25,000 during his time with Perugia in Italy and even registered at €0 while without a club in early 2024, his subsequent climb via FC Gießen to Elversberg has marked him out as a late-blooming prospect.
Born in Frankfurt am Main on 13 September 2003 and standing at 1.91m, Ebnoutalib offers a physical presence through the middle, operating primarily as a centre-forward and preferring his right foot. His development has taken in youth spells at FC Kalbach, SV Heddernheim and several SG Rot-Weiss Frankfurt age-group sides, before moves to SV Wehen Wiesbaden’s academy and then Perugia’s Primavera and senior team in Italy, returning to Germany with FC Gießen and later earning his step up to Elversberg.
There is also the broader possibility that, if no club were ultimately to meet Elversberg’s expectations, Ebnoutalib could again face uncertainty over his future, as he has previously spent time without a club. For now, though, a prospective transfer to Frankfurt would offer a return to his home city and a platform in the Bundesliga, a move that could prove decisive for his career trajectory and growing reputation if it comes to fruition.
