After Brighton, the next interested parties from the financially strong Premier League come onto the scene: Said El Mala. As “Sport Bild” reports, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have specifically asked 1. FC Köln about the 19-year-old attacker. Authorized consultants are said to have generally inquired about Effzeh’s willingness to move next summer and his ideas about a transfer.

Man United and Spurs are also said to have stated that they are prepared to pay a sum of 30 million to 40 million euros for the left winger. Before the Bundesliga update next Friday, El Mala’s market value is 18 million euros, but this will increase significantly. His contract in the cathedral city runs until 2030 and is reportedly without an exit clause. Cologne is therefore in a good negotiating position.
If the newcomer collects an amount of this magnitude, El Mala would become a record exit. This is currently Anthony Modeste (37) with 29 million euros. In addition, so much money has never been spent on a German U20 player.
FC Barcelona, on the other hand, has already withdrawn from poker due to a lack of money, according to the report. The youngster is also being traded at FC Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain, among others. El Mala, who played in the third division last season, have scored six goals and three assists in 14 games so far this season.
He recently ruled out a winter transfer himself. It is normal these days for a young player to arouse interest after several goals. “I notice it, but it doesn’t affect me. It’s a nice recognition for the performance, but I’m fully concentrating on FC.” Effzeh managing director Philipp Türoff had previously pointed out that he was not necessarily dependent on short-term millions in income for the club’s most valuable player.
