Already last summer it was reported that Koch should have an exit clause in his contract valid until 2027. This amounts to 18 million to 20 million euros and thus in the area of the market value of the German international of 18 million euros.
In any case, prerequisite for a transfer should be that the black and yellow still reach the Champions League. They are four points away from the premier class, in whose final the Dortmund last season the Dortmund last season, they are four points before the last four games of the season in the Bundesliga. The SGE is currently more promising in the race as the third in the table and could convince Koch with a qualification of whereabouts.
In the transfer market rumor mill, the rumor is viewed with mixed feelings. User “Patty” says: “You have to say that there are hardly any better players in the price segment, but Anton, Süle, Can and Koch would not make any sense in my view, even in the chain of three. Either you get a left foot or a player with potential. In my view, a change of cooking would primarily make sense if Süle, Can or Anton are left, otherwise I would be more of a young talent commit. “
With Schlotterbeck, Waldemar Anton, Niklas Süle, Soumaïla Coulibaly (return to loan) and Youngster Filippo Mané, BVB – now – has five regular central defenders in the squad next season. In addition, captain Emre Can can also be used in this position.
