Reports: 1. FC Köln are targeting striker Nils Petersen from SC Freiburg

Report on conversations with Baumgart

According to media reports, Freiburg’s record goalscorer Nils Petersen is on the list for 1. FC Köln. Like the TV channel “Sky” and the portal “goat blog“reported at the beginning of the week, the 33-year-old is an option for the storm center at FC next summer. Petersen’s contract in Breisgau expires at the end of the season, so the attacker could leave Freiburg for free.

Petersen had only made eleven short appearances (two goals) in the current season and had recently publicly expressed his displeasure at the lack of playing time. His future currently seems completely open – also because SC coach Christian Streich has a powerful offensive with Lucas Höler and Ermedin Demirovic (plus Vincenzo Grifo and Woo-yeong Jeong on the flanks) over the course of the season, which gives him little reason for changes .

According to reports, Petersen could be planned as a possible back-up for top scorer Anthony Modeste in Cologne, or even replace him in the event of a departure. The Frenchman already had a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia in the past winter transfer window, and Cologne could still collect a fee for the 33-year-old in the summer given the contract that runs until 2023.

The situation in the Cologne offensive is similarly uncertain with regard to the personal details of Mark Uth and Sebastian Andersson, whose working papers are both dated to 2023. In particular, the Swede, who came from Union Berlin in 2020 for a transfer fee of 6.5 million euros and is one of the ten most expensive purchases in FC history, is considered a safe summer exit by the “Billion Goats” after the last performances shown. Overall, Andersson (also due to injury) has only played six competitive games over the full distance since his move.

1. FC Köln: Coach Baumgart in contact with Petersen

With Petersen, 1. FC Köln would meanwhile fish for the best joker in Bundesliga history, which does not rule out a change after a total of 7.5 years in Freiburg. “The club would probably not put any obstacles in my way if I wanted to change,” Petersen said recently via “Eurosport” With.

In Cologne, personal matters seem to be given priority: According to “Geissblog”, FC coach Steffen Baumgart has already personally contacted the striker to discuss a transfer in the summer.
