Eintracht Frankfurt has intensified efforts to secure Moroccan forward Younes Ebnoutalib, aiming to reach a definitive agreement with the 22-year-old during the current week.
The Bundesliga club has proposed a long-term contract extending at least until 2030, signalling confidence in Ebnoutalib’s potential and a commitment to integrating him into the team’s sporting project over the medium and long term.
Negotiations between Frankfurt, SV Elversberg, and the player continue, with a decisive outcome expected in the coming days, either through the finalization of the transfer or continued discussions.
The main point of contention remains the striker’s release clause. Eintracht initially offered €3.5 million, while SV Elversberg maintains a firm demand of nearly €10 million, a figure the German club considers excessive.
Frankfurt has now proposed an alternative structure: a fixed €5 million fee complemented by performance-based bonuses and a percentage of any future resale.
The offer aims to bridge the gap, though it remains uncertain whether Elversberg will accept.
Elversberg is leveraging Ebnoutalib’s rising profile, confident that interest from several European clubs will justify a higher valuation.
Meanwhile, the Moroccan striker has expressed a willingness to facilitate the transfer, seeing Frankfurt as a strategic step to further his career and attract attention from top English and Spanish clubs in the future.
Ebnoutalib has impressed both in the Bundesliga and on the international stage, earning a reputation as one of Morocco’s most promising young talents.
His arrival at Frankfurt could strengthen the club’s attacking options and mark a key milestone in his professional development.
Negotiations are under close observation by African football media, reflecting the striker’s growing prominence and the high stakes involved for both clubs.
The coming days are expected to determine whether Frankfurt can secure one of the most sought-after Moroccan forwards in European football.
