Eintracht Frankfurt Close In on Elversberg’s Younes Ebnoutalib in €8m Deal Pending Medical

Frankfurt pulled ahead of Wolfsburg, with a second forward on loan under consideration after injuries plus Wahi’s slump.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report a verbal agreement at €8 million plus up to €2 million in bonuses, subject to a medical expected before year-end.
  • The 22-year-old is slated to sign through 2031 and is expected to join Eintracht’s training when the squad reconvenes on January 2.
  • Frankfurt reportedly outbid and outmaneuvered Wolfsburg, with the player favoring a move to his hometown for sporting reasons.
  • Ebnoutalib leads the 2. Bundesliga with 12 goals in 17 games after a rapid rise from the Regionalliga, and his sale would be Elversberg’s biggest and a blow to their promotion push.
  • Eintracht are also pursuing Nottingham Forest striker Arnaud Kalimuendo on a loan with purchase option, as injuries to Jonathan Burkardt and Michy Batshuayi plus Elye Wahi’s struggles drive winter reinforcements.
