FC Köln is reportedly interested in Laurin Curda, the right-footed midfielder of SC Paderborn, who scored the decisive goal in the relegation against Wolfsburg. Alongside the Kölners, the HSV is also said to have its fingers on the pulse of the player. As in the previous season, it seems that both clubs are again observing a potential candidate in this transfer period. Laurin Curda is a 24-year-old right-footed player who became a key player for SC Paderborn in the previous season. He is versatile and can also play in central defense and on the right defensive position. His breakthrough came as a right midfielder. The Geißböcke may indeed be looking for a player in this position. Jan Thielmann and Linton Maina are considered wobbly candidates in this transfer period. In the previous season, both players failed to meet expectations. Whether Curda has what it takes to be a Bundesliga player, he must prove it first. In the relegation game, he did well. Curda's market value is estimated at three million euros. As usual, nothing is known about the contract duration at Paderborn.
