FC Koln is losing an important player. Midfielder Denis Huseinbasic is leaving the club after four years and joining Sporting Braga in Portugal. The 24-year-old joined FC Koln in the summer of 2022 and played 108 games for the Domstädter in four years. In the past season, Huseinbasic played in 16 games for the Kölner in the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal. Thomas Kessler, the managing director of FC Koln, said: „Deni didn't get the playing time he wanted last season and came to us with the desire to transfer“. Huseinbasic bid farewell to the Kölner fans in a video message on platform X. Sporting Braga finished fourth in the Portuguese league last season and was eliminated in the semifinals of the Europa League by SC Freiburg. FC Koln must now focus on finding a new midfielder. The club's officials will certainly do everything to compensate for the loss of Huseinbasic. The transfer of Huseinbasic to Sporting Braga is an important step in his career. The 24-year-old will face new challenges in Portugal and be able to develop further. FC Koln wishes Huseinbasic much success with his new club. The transfer is a significant change for both the player and the club. Huseinbasic will have to adapt to a new team and a new league. FC Koln will have to find a way to replace him in the midfield.
