Klopp reportedly targeting Frankfurt starlet Ebnoutalib for Germany | OneFootball

Jürgen Klopp paid a visit to Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday, with photos posted by the Bundesliga club showing the new Germany coach in conversation with several members of the squad, including shooting star Younes Ebnoutalib.

According to Sky Sport, Klopp and the 22-year-old forward had a lengthy conversation during the visit.

Klopp is reportedly impressed by Ebnoutalib’s qualities and wants to convince the striker to represent Germany. Born in Frankfurt to a German mother and Moroccan father, Ebnoutalib is eligible to play for the DFB. He was previously called up to Morocco’s U15 national team, but has yet to represent the country at senior level.

Ebnoutalib could now face a decision over his international future, with Klopp keen to persuade him to choose Germany.

The forward has enjoyed a remarkable rise over the past 18 months. He was still playing fourth-tier football with FC Gießen at the start of 2025 before moving to SV Elversberg, and has since earned a Bundesliga move to Frankfurt.

Ebnoutalib made a sensational start to the new Bundesliga season, scoring a hat-trick in Eintracht’s opening-day draw with Union Berlin.
