SC Freiburg's Johan Manzambi is increasingly in the spotlight at the 2026 World Cup. In the 2-0 win of Switzerland in the round of 16 against Algeria, the Freiburg offensive talent prepared the important lead by Breel Embolo in a spectacular way.

What's happening with Manzambi?

The 20-year-old is reportedly being traded for 70 million euros. Several top clubs from Europe are said to be interested in him. Previously, English media had reported a transfer fee of 55 million euros.

Why is Manzambi in such high demand?

The Swiss national player has already scored five points at the 2026 World Cup. He scored twice in the 4-1 win against Bosnia and Herzegovina and scored a goal and provided an assist in the 2-1 win against Canada.

What's next?

Newcastle United is considered the most promising suitor. The English club has already generated high transfer income from the sale of Anthony Gordon to FC Barcelona and is reportedly on the verge of selling Sandro Tonali to Tottenham Hotspur for a three-digit million sum. SC Freiburg is currently 7th in the Bundesliga with 47 points and a record of 13 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses from 34 games.
