German goalkeeper Noah Atubolu, 24, hopes for a series of transfers in the transfer market, as English clubs like Newcastle United, FC Chelsea, Aston Villa, and FC Liverpool could seek to sign a goalkeeper. However, Atubolu is not a primary target for these clubs. There are currently no concrete offers for the U21 international, for whom he has 22 caps, and no interested party has approached SC Freiburg to request permission for direct talks.

Atubolu's contract with the Bundesliga club is valid until 2027, but his departure is likely after Freiburg signed Mio Backhaus as their new number one. Atubolu, who joined Freiburg in July 2021, made 34 appearances in the Bundesliga last season and has a current market value of €25.00m, according to Transfermarkt. In February 2026, it was reported that SC Freiburg's asking price was €30 million, while other reports in spring 2026 mentioned potential fees ranging from €20 million to €25 million.
