Ogbus Signs New Freiburg Deal Amid Interest from N’Forest and Leeds Utd

SC Freiburg has announced that dual-national central defender Bruno Ogbus has signed a new contract with the club, although the duration of the deal was not disclosed. Ogbus, a Swiss U20 international of Nigerian descent, had garnered interest from Premier League clubs Nottingham Forest and Leeds United, as well as Serie A’s AC Milan, but Freiburg turned down offers during the summer transfer window, insisting he was not for sale.

Despite ongoing interest from English clubs, Ogbus has committed his future to Freiburg, where he has been part of every match squad this season, featuring in three games.

Ogbus started his career at FC Zürich’s youth academy before joining SC Freiburg in January 2022.
