At the end of the season, Inter will bid farewell to a goalkeeper of great quality and experience like Yann Sommer, whose contract is expiring and who will be replaced by a younger profile. Among the many names that have been linked to Inter, there is a new one coming from Germany, and it is the young talent Noah Atubolu.

Noah Atubolu Inter

Atubolu is a goalkeeper born in 2002 who was born in Germany but has Nigerian origins. He chose to wear the shirt of the German national team and has done so since the youth selections. In October 2025, he also received his first call-up to the senior national team, which testifies to his great growth with Freiburg.

Noah Atubolu Transfermarkt

As can be seen from the Transfermarkt profile of the German goalkeeper, he is currently assigned a market value of 18 million euros. This is a figure around which there are some question marks because Freiburg relies heavily on him and could ask for more. However, there is also talk of a release clause whose official amount is not known but which, according to some rumors, should be 15-16 million euros.

Technical characteristics Noah Atubolu

The profile that Inter has identified is that of a truly modern goalkeeper because he combines important physical qualities (190 centimeters tall and about 80 kg) with technical skills. Atubolu is in fact a goalkeeper who usually participates very actively in the build-up phase of play and has an average of long passes completed of about 38.4%, which is higher than average, though still improvable.

The German goalkeeper especially boasts a great wingspan that allows him to cover a wide area of the goal, which, combined with his great reflexes and quickness in interventions, makes him a very reliable goalkeeper. One area where he still needs to improve, according to German sources, is coming out on high balls.

Noah Atubolu Career

The young career of a goalkeeper who is just 23 years old is obviously still at the beginning, and it can be said that Atubolu is in the process of building his experience. Despite this, he has already broken Freiburg’s record for consecutive minutes without conceding a goal: a total of 610 minutes between January and March 2024. The 2002-born player has always played for Freiburg since the youth teams and is a true product of the German club.

One last statistic that highlights his qualities is his effectiveness in saving penalties, as in his career, up to this point, he has already saved 10 out of a total of 30 faced. This great ability makes him one of the most effective in the entire German league in this area despite his young age.
