FC Koln is close to signing striker Thijs Dallinga on loan from FC Bologna. The 26-year-old Dutch forward has a contract until 2028 with Bologna. Dallinga has gained valuable experience in the past few years on the international level. The FC Koln wants to become more flexible and stronger in the offensive area. The plan is clear: two strikers on a similar performance level will provide more competition in the future. The FC Koln has changed its transfer strategy in recent weeks. According to a report from Sky, the Kölner are no longer looking exclusively for a replacement for Ragnar Ache. Instead, the attack should be broader and more dangerous. The last appearance of FC Koln was a 5-1 away win against Bayern Munich on May 16, 2026. In the last four games, FC Koln has lost four times. Currently, Sebastian Sebulonsen is injured.
