With a market value of 1.2 million euros, Timo Horn is the third most valuable goalkeeper in the world without a club. The 30-year-old has been looking for a club since his contract with 1. FC Köln ended in the summer and may have now found the right one. As the “Picture” and the “Kicker“Report, Austria’s series champion Red Bull Salzburg wants to get him as the new number two.

Apparently there was a change of heart. After saying goodbye to Cologne, where he had lost his status as a regular goalkeeper to Marvin Schwäbe (28), the 30-year-old said: “My aim is to stand between the posts week after week and to be the support for one as a goalkeeper “To be a team.” Now he can also imagine the role of back-up, they say. Salzburg would be the first stop abroad for Horn, the most valuable German footballer without a club, after 21 years with “Effzeh”.

The Austrian league leaders currently have three goalkeepers in the squad, number one Alexander Schlager (27), plus the former Hachinger Nico Mantl (23) and the former Bayern talent Jonas Krumrey (20). Schlager has stood between the posts 25 times so far, Mantl once. However, according to the “Kicker”, the 23-year-old could leave the club because they apparently no longer trust him to develop further. He was loaned out to Aalborg BK in the last second half of the season.
Update January 4th, 8:21 p.m.: This Thursday there were new developments in these personal details. While the “Salzburg News“ initially reported that Horn was no longer an issue at Salzburg, reported the “Crown newspaper“ in the evening that a change should be fixed. What is certain, however, is that Mantl will be loaned to Denmark again. This time his goal is Viborg FF.
