Bremen flashed: FC probably provides offer for left -backs

The 1. FC Köln is the football club from the cathedral city. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “billy goats”.

The 1. FC Köln is said to be interested in Derrick Köhn from Galatasaray Istanbul. This reports “Sky”. According to this, the Bundesliga promoter is said to have already made an offer for the left-back. The 26-year-old had been loaned to Werder Bremen last season. Actually, the Bremerers wanted to commit the player, but were not ready to pull the purchase option of 5.1 million euros.

Instead, Werder offered 3.5 million euros, but Istanbul refused. Accordingly, the FC would have to offer significantly more for the services of the native of Hamburg. At FC, Köhn would close an still open squad gap, currently only Learst Pacarada is available as a left-back. At almost 36 km/h, the player would also fit into the Cologne -based requirements profile as a left rail player.

The 1. FC Köln has targeted a striker of TSG Hoffenheim on the transfer market. The billy goats negotiate matching media reports with Marius Bülter about a transfer to the cathedral city. The 32-year-old is no longer the first choice at TSG. His contract expires in the summer of 2026.

Bülter can be used variably in the attack. In addition to Ragnar Ache and Imad Rondic, the billy goats are looking for another attacker who can play centrally at the top. Bülter is considered faster, strong striker. FC should be largely agreed with the player. Hoffenheim’s return is still open.

The 1. FC Köln is said to have inquired about the Union of Berlin’s Danilho Doekhi, the Italian sports journalist Rudy Galetti reports on the intelligence service X. The head of the Iron Defense chief is still under contract until summer 2026 and, according to “Berliner Kurier”, is said to have an exit clause in the amount of nine million euros.

But the rumor lets it: On the one hand, the “billy goats” search for a central defender with a strong left foot – Doekhi is right. On the other hand, the 27-year-old was recently associated with Feyenoord from his hometown Rotterdam, here the Champions League is waving. Interested parties for Doekhi should also be available from Italy with the CFC Genoa and FC Turin.

The 1. FC Köln has to look for alternatives in search of another central defender. The “billy goats” had recently agreed with Ahmetcan Kaplan on a change, but cannot agree on a transfer with Ajax Amsterdam. According to “Sky”, the Dutch demands six million euros for the 22-year-old Turks. FC is apparently not ready to pay this sum, which is why the negotiations should have failed.

As an alternative, Paderborns Calvin Brackelmann, who had been among the favorite players of the new Cologne coach Lukas Kwasniok in the East Westphalia in the past. The 25-year-old is just like chaplain left foot. The same applies to Augsburg’s Keven Schlotterbeck, which “Sky” brings into play as a further option. In an interview with the “Kicker”, he recently explained that he no longer had any changes.

Julian Pauli contracted a ligament tear in the left ankle. The defender of 1st FC Köln had injured himself in the training camp in Austria and was immediately flown back to Germany. On Friday, the billy goats confirmed that the central defender would be canceled for several weeks.

However, Paul is lucky, because initially there was suspicion of a violation of syndesmosis, which would have resulted in a month -long failure. Youssoupha Niang, on the other hand, was less lucky. The striker had several problems with his shoulder. Now the Youngster threatens an operation to get the constant pain under control. In this case, Nang would probably be several months.
