Overview
- Following the 7-0 friendly defeat at Brentford, kicker and other reports identify Noah Atubolu as Eintracht Frankfurt’s preferred solution for the No.1 spot.
- Atubolu remains under contract at SC Freiburg through 2027 and has returned to team training after a period of individual work.
- Freiburg have already signed Mio Backhaus from Werder Bremen as a likely successor and are said to value Atubolu at roughly €15–20 million.
- An initial approach from Olympique Marseille was reportedly rebuffed and other clubs have been linked, while Atubolu’s agency Epic Sports and agent Ali Barat promoted conditional transfer scenarios that raised expectations without producing confirmed offers.
- Any deal is still at an early stage but sources say it could gather momentum in the coming days before the transfer window closes and would directly reshape Eintracht’s goalkeeper plans and Freiburg’s squad succession.
