Younes Ebnoutalib is being linked with a move from 2. Bundesliga side SV Elversberg to Bundesliga club Wolfsburg, with the probability of a deal currently rated at 45%.
The 22-year-old centre-forward, valued at €6.00m, is attracting increasing attention after a rapid rise in his market valuation during 2025. Data from Transfermarkt shows his worth climbing from €150,000 at the start of the year to its current €6.00m figure by mid-December, underlining how sharply his stock has risen at Elversberg.
Ebnoutalib, who represents both Germany and Morocco at nationality level, is under contract at SV Elversberg, but no expiry date is listed, leaving room for speculation that he could yet become a free agent if no extension is agreed. For now, however, the current rumours centre on Wolfsburg testing Elversberg’s resolve as they look to bolster their attacking options with a tall, right-footed centre-forward standing at 1.91m.
Born in Frankfurt am Main on 13 September 2003, Ebnoutalib has taken an unconventional route to prominence. After youth spells with FC Kalbach, SV Heddernheim and SG Rot-Weiss Frankfurt, he moved through SV Wehen Wiesbaden’s academy before heading abroad to Italy with Perugia Primavera and later AC Perugia Calcio. A short period without a club in early 2024 preceded a switch to FC Gießen, from where he joined Elversberg ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
There are no specific match details in the available data, but his surge in valuation since joining Elversberg suggests a series of eye-catching displays in Germany’s second tier. Wolfsburg’s reported interest, even at less than 50% likelihood, points to growing belief that he could make the jump to the Bundesliga.
If the move does materialise, it would mark the latest step in a fast-tracked career and could give Ebnoutalib a high-profile platform to establish himself as a top-flight striker in Germany.
