Juventus could face serious competition from the Premier League in their pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Younes Ebnoutalib, with Tottenham Hotspur also reportedly monitoring the highly-rated German forward.

According to Sky Sport Germany, the 23-year-old has emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting attacking talents, attracting growing interest from several major clubs following an impressive start to the season.

Ebnoutalib has been in outstanding form in the Bundesliga, registering eight goals and two assists in just 10 appearances across all competitions.

His performances have not gone unnoticed, with the young striker also earning his first call-up to the German national team, making his international debut in September.

Juventus Looking for a New Centre-Forward

Juventus’ interest in Ebnoutalib comes as little surprise. The Bianconeri are actively exploring the market for a quality centre-forward ahead of the January transfer window, with strengthening their attacking options among their main priorities.

The Frankfurt striker’s age, physical potential and impressive goalscoring numbers make him an attractive option for the Italian giants. However, securing his signature could prove extremely difficult.

Frankfurt Determined to Keep Their Star

Eintracht Frankfurt have absolutely no intention of allowing their prized attacking talent to leave in the near future. Ebnoutalib is currently under contract until 2031, placing the German club in a strong negotiating position.

Furthermore, Frankfurt are reportedly preparing to offer the striker an improved salary as they look to reward his performances and protect his long-term future at the club.

The negotiations are expected to be overseen by incoming sporting director Joti Chatzialexiou, who is scheduled to take up his position in February 2027.

For Juventus, the situation represents a potential obstacle in their January recruitment plans. With Tottenham also keeping an eye on the German forward, competition for Ebnoutalib’s signature could become increasingly intense in the coming months.
