FC Koln: Jakub Kaminski Could Leave Soon - The Exit Clause in His Contract Could Speed Up the Transfer. Who Are the Interested Clubs and What Does It Mean for the Cologne Team? Jakub Kaminski, the Polish striker, has an exit clause in his contract that could expire in July. This could speed up the transfer and put the Cologne team in a position to sign a new player. Kaminski's market value is 17 million euros, and the exit clause is 20 million. Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle are reportedly interested. The FC Koln could soon celebrate a major transfer deal. However, the waiting for the big deal is associated with a great risk. In theory, the deals could be late, and the Geissbocks could react only with difficulty. The English transfer market usually starts late. Deals just before the transfer deadline are not uncommon. It could go very well for El Mala. For Kaminski, it may go much faster. This is suggested by a contract detail reported by Sportbild. According to this, the Pole has not only an exit clause in his contract, but it is apparently tied to a deadline. This is to expire in mid-July and will change the dynamics of a possible transfer. If no club has activated the exit clause by then, the transfer fee will be freely negotiable. Not only that, in theory, Kaminski could also stay with the Geissbocks. This seems unlikely given his clear words. "Playing in the Bundesliga was always my dream. But after 104 games and four seasons, the Premier League is the next dream. It is the best league in the world. I would like to prove myself there," Kaminski said in an interview last week. In the end, the FC would have the upper hand on the deal, but at the right transfer fee, the Cologne team would probably not put any obstacles in the way. Probably, this will not play a role. If the deadline really exists, players and agents will of course also know about it and will probably not hide it in conversations with potential interested parties.
