1. FC Köln loses Said El Mala - the club confirms the transfer to England. The deal is expected to be completed soon. Said El Mala was a key player for 1. FC Köln and scored 13 goals in the season. The club initially demanded 50 million euros for the player, but it is said that an offer of 40 million euros plus five million euros in bonuses was made. The club has now followed up and increased the overall package by five million euros. Apparently enough to make them weak. The transfer would be a bitter loss, but the club can now plan differently. Kessler's decision must still be approved by the Joint Committee. But it will likely approve the deal. As Bild reports further, the final decision by the advising parents has not yet been made. Mother Sabrina is reportedly planning to meet with the Bees by Friday. English media have recently reported that the player could earn between four and five million euros. It is now likely to happen quickly. Another important figure is Jakub Kaminski. The Pole can leave Cologne for 20 million euros. There is said to be a concrete offer. However, only on the player's side. If Kaminski agrees and also wants to move to England, the Cologne team will likely be tied down. The Cologne team will lose both attacking forces in that case. El Mala scored 13 goals and assisted five. Kaminski scored seven goals.
