1. FC Köln is in acute danger of relegation after eleven match days. The Effzeh is particularly problematic on the offensive. The club from the cathedral city wants to improve in the winter. In focus: Youssoufa Moukoko from BVB. However, in order to realize a loan, some professionals must first leave the club.
According to information from “Bild”, 1. FC Köln found what they were looking for at Borussia Dortmund when they were looking for a snapper. Youssoufa Moukoko is therefore “high on the Cologne striker list”. But that’s not all: BVB should also think about letting Moukoko go in the winter.
But even a loan isn’t exactly easy for the financially struggling cathedral townspeople. The German U21 international earns around six million euros at BVB. Effzeh could only raise such a sum with the help of Westphalia. In addition, Cologne would probably have to get some players off the payroll.
Three players are allowed to leave 1. FC Köln
According to “Bild”, Sargis Adamyan, Dimitrios Limnios and Noah Katterbach are to be given up in order to increase the manageable budget of around 2.5 million euros. Accordingly, Adamyan and Limnios in particular no longer have a future at Geißbockheim after disappointing performances.
The problem with Adamyan: The Armenian’s contract runs until 2026. The 30-year-old has a comfortable pension contract in the Rhineland, which he is currently serving in the stands. Sports director Christian Keller would like to save his salary and lend it to the former Hoffenheim player. At Limnios there is a possibility of terminating the contract.
Katterbach, who was suffering from a torn cruciate ligament until recently, is a candidate for sale due to a high-paying contract and the great competition on the left side of the defense. According to the tabloid’s report, the 22-year-old “doesn’t really fit” into the salary structure.
