1. FC Köln: goalkeeper Schwäbe in the DFB field of vision – contact confirmed

Market value increased sevenfold since 2021

Marvin Schwäbe has been the number one goalkeeper at 1. FC Köln since the end of 2021 and has increased his market value from one million to 7 million euros during this time. The steep form of the 28-year-old not only ensured a contract extension until 2027 at the end of June, but also a call from the DFB, for which he last appeared in 2017 in the U21 jersey. “Yes, there was contact,” Schwäbe said.Picture“-Newspaper.

DFB goalkeeping coach Andreas Kronenberg attested to him “that I performed well and I should continue like this”. Schwäbe is now officially in the sights of national coach Hansi Flick. “Of course the call spurs me on. It would be beautiful if it happened in the end. I’ll do anything for it. I don’t know how close I am or how far I am away. I’m trying to build on last season and go one step further. Whether it is enough is up to the DFB to decide.”

Schwäbe, who was already under contract in Hoffenheim, Osnabrück and Dresden, switched from TSG to Brondby IF in 2018 for €800,000 – in 2021 he went to FC on a free transfer. “When you come from Denmark, you are not told: Here is your place. That’s understandable, too,” said Schwäbe in a TM interview at the beginning of 2023. Now a place in the squad of Germany’s national team could follow.

In the Bundesliga, his market value makes him one of the seven most valuable goalkeepers, and in a comparison of the German goalkeepers he takes third place in the league behind FC Bayern’s Alexander Nübel (26), who is willing to change, and Frankfurt’s international goalkeeper, Kevin Trapp (33). The internationally playing DFB competition Marc-André ter Stegen (31, Barça) and Bernd Leno (31, Fulham) is a long way ahead in terms of market value. Manchester City’s number two Stefan Ortega (30) is also listed ahead of Schwäbe.
