Rayan Philippe, currently playing for Eintracht Braunschweig, is under consideration for a transfer due to his contract situation. His contract will only be extended if the club avoids relegation. Eintracht Braunschweig is considering a sale in January with an immediate loan back to the club, allowing Philippe to fulfill his desire to move to the Bundesliga while still contributing to Braunschweig for the rest of the season. Several Bundesliga clubs have shown interest, including SC Freiburg.
