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”.
Surprise in the goal of 1. FC Köln: Anthony Racioppi is only number three at the billy goats. The Swiss had only been hired on loan in winter, FC even has a purchase option for the 26-year-old. But the goalkeeper will probably not sit on the replacement bank against Jahn Regensburg on Saturday.
Marvin Schwäbe reported on Friday due to discomfort from training, but according to Gerhard Struber, it should be between the posts on Saturday. However, if the regular keeper failed, according to Struber with Philipp Pentke, the previous number three would be in goal and not Racioppi. A departure of the Swiss in summer is considered likely.
Another long -term injury professional of the 1st FC Köln has returned to team training. Jusuf Gazibegovic was able to work together with his teammates for the first time after his Syndesmoseriss on Thursday, at least partially integrated in the Franz-Kremer Stadium.
Chief coach Gerhard Struber only had to do without a single player on the holiday. Except for Luca Kilian, who continues to recover from his second cruciate ligament tear, all FC professionals are in training. Except for Gazibegovic, for which the game comes too early, all actors are also an option for the home game against Jahn Regensburg on Saturday evening.
The 1. FC Köln should be interested in three players of the relegation threatened VfL Bochum. In addition to defender Bernardo, which has recently been speculated, according to the “Sport Bild”, central defender Tim Oermann and midfielder Tom Krauss should also be an issue at the Geißbockheim.
While Krauss from FSV Mainz 05 is awarded to Bochum, Oermann is supposed to be about a move to Bayer Leverkusen. However, the Rhenish rival of the Cologneers wants to give the rapid arrow rapid U21 national player directly again. At FC, Oermann could continue to collect game practice in the Bundesliga in the event of ascent and also be an alternative to the position of right -back.
Max Finkgräfe is not satisfied with his situation at 1. FC Köln. The left -back is just a second choice behind Learst Pacarada this season. Since his contract expires in the summer of 2026, the 21-year-old thinks about his future after VfB Stuttgart had expressed concrete interest in winter.
This interest is after one Sky-Proof still still exists. The Swabians now want to hire Finkgräfe in the summer of 2025 and should be willing to pay for a corresponding transfer. This is likely to be in the medium single -digit million range. However, the FC wants to extend with Finkräfe and build it up to the regular player in his position.
A wild rumor reaches 1. FC Köln from Berlin: Jonas Boldt, who is actually traded as the new sports boss by Hertha BSC, is also said to be an issue at the Geißbockheim. The “picture” reports of an “intensive contact” between the FC and the unemployed official since its HSV-OUS in May 2024.
At FC, Boldt, who had filled out various positions from 2007 to 2019 at the Cologne Rival Bayer Bayer Leverkusen, would probably only be the successor to Managing Director Christian Keller. And there is currently no signs for its replacement, despite the recurring criticism of Keller’s squad planning, FC is facing the climb. On top of that, it would be a fist -thick surprise if the outgoing presidium was still making such a decision on its last meters.
