Overview
- Noah Atubolu still remains under contract at SC Freiburg through 2027 and his planned summer move has not been completed despite his desire to leave.
- SC Freiburg have already signed Mio Backhaus from Werder Bremen as a likely successor, signalling the club is preparing for Atubolu’s departure.
- Reports say Atubolu has grown unhappy with his agency’s handling of the window after advisers promoted conditional scenarios about moves to clubs such as Dortmund, Milan and Aston Villa.
- Multiple clubs have been linked to Atubolu with Olympique Marseille making a low, reportedly rebuffed approach and Eintracht Frankfurt now identified as a developing suitor as they look to replace their struggling goalkeepers.
- Freiburg are said to value Atubolu at roughly €15–20 million, he has returned to team training, and the immediate start of domestic leagues is adding pressure for a swift resolution that will affect his club role and Germany ambitions.
