Freiburg open door to Eintracht Frankfurt move for Atubolu | OneFootball

With Noah Atubolu’s dream of moving to the Premier League looking increasingly unlikely to be realised during the summer transfer window, SC Freiburg are now looking for the best possible alternative for the wantaway goalkeeper.

That currently appears to be Eintracht Frankfurt, who are reportedly considering a move for Atubolu as they look to bring in a new first-choice goalkeeper.

SC Freiburg head coach Julian Schuster could see such a move happening.

“Basically, Frankfurt are a very, very big club in Germany. So it could certainly be an option for him to be their goalkeeper," he said, according to Bild.

It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can reach an agreement. With Freiburg reportedly demanding €15 million to let Atubolu leave, it has been suggested that the goalkeeper could instead extend his contract by a further year, until 2028, and head out on loan.

For now, Atubolu will have to wait and focus on keeping himself fit.

“We are constantly in contact and will then integrate him into our training accordingly,” Schuster said.

“That is our responsibility and our duty when someone is under contract. And he is. So we are making sure he gets the necessary workload and trains so that he is fundamentally operating at a new level.”
