1. FC Köln may be facing a bitter departure of Jakub Kaminski, a key player for the team. The forward, who was permanently signed at the beginning of the month, reportedly has a release clause that could allow a transfer for around 20 million euros this summer. According to reports, several teams from the Premier League, including Brighton & Hove Albion, are interested in the 24-year-old. Kaminski spent last season on loan at 1. FC Köln and was permanently signed from VfL Wolfsburg in early June for a transfer fee of 5.5 million euros. Köln's sporting director Thomas Kessler spoke positively about Kaminski, highlighting his personality and team spirit. He emphasized that Kaminski proved his qualities both on and off the pitch last season. However, FC Köln did not disclose the exact details regarding the contract duration and the release clause. Kessler is aware of his player's intentions and is in close contact with his agent. Kaminski was a key player for 1. FC Köln last season, scoring seven goals in 36 competitive matches and impressing with his tactical versatility.
