Borussia Dortmund plans new offer for Said El Mala

The poker game around Said El Mala is entering the next round. According to Sky information, the 1. FC Köln has internally decided to only let the offensive player go for a transfer fee of at least 50 million euros plus bonus payments. Borussia Dortmund will still try to improve and submit a new offer. The last offer was around 40 million euros fixed and would have increased to around 45 million euros with bonuses. El Mala himself and his family prefer a transfer to BVB and have also expressed this wish to FC. Köln remains committed to its demand – and could even increase the price in the course of the transfer period, as time for a replacement is running out with each day. In parallel, the FC is preparing for a possible departure and has several replacement candidates on the list. Tottenham talent Mikey Moore, whose loan to Köln is still on track, is explicitly not planned as an El-Mala replacement.

What comes next?

The 1. FC Köln must prepare for a possible departure of Said El Mala. The club has already several replacement candidates on the list. The transfer market is therefore not yet closed.
