Eintracht Frankfurt’s Opening Bid for Elversberg Striker Ebnoutalib Rejected

Elversberg is said to seek about €10 million, leaving Frankfurt to decide whether to improve its offer.

Overview

  • Elversberg reportedly rejected Eintracht Frankfurt’s €6.5 million offer for Younes Ebnoutalib, and sporting director Nils-Ole Book confirmed there is no agreement while declining to discuss sums.
  • Reports suggest Elversberg would consider talks around a €10 million valuation, with VfL Wolfsburg also pursuing the player.
  • Transfermarkt reports Wolfsburg had an €8 million plus €2 million in bonuses proposal rebuffed as well, though none of the figures are officially confirmed by the clubs.
  • Ebnoutalib, 22, leads the 2. Bundesliga with 12 goals and is under contract until 2028 after Elversberg signed him from FC Gießen for €50,000 last winter.
  • Frankfurt’s interest is driven by injuries to Jonathan Burkardt and Michy Batshuayi, and public commentary has floated loan-back or bonus-heavy structures as possible compromises.
