Transfer rumor: U21 international via Leverkusen to Cologne?

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”.

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.

Marvin Schwäbe at 1st FC Köln ensured a moment of shock at the away game against Hannover 96 (0: 1) on Sunday. The goalkeeper had to be treated on the knee after a long blow in the 15th minute. Since the FC number two Anthony Racioppi was already in use for the U21 on Friday evening, Philipp Pentke was already preparing the number three for a substitution.

Swabia, however, bit on the teeth, continued to play and preserved his team in Lower Saxony in the first half with numerous parades from a previous deficit. “I already had a bit of problems during the week, but everything is okay,” said the goalkeeper after the game itself. A mission against Jahn Regensburg next weekend is not on the brink.

Crazy world in the youngsters of 1. FC Köln: The U19 of the billy goats won 4: 3 at VfB Stuttgart in the round of 16. The team of coach Stefan Ruthenbeck was 0: 3 behind after only ten minutes. In the end, however, FC won after extra time.

Fayssal Harchaoui brought FC to 1: 3 before the half -time break (42nd). Fynn Schenten marked the 2: 3 in the 60th minute. In the added time of the regular season, it was central defender Assad Kotya-Fofana who still achieved the 3: 3 equalization (90+3. minute). In the extension everything looked like penalty shootout, but after a solo, Youssoupha Niang only scored seconds before the end of the game for 4: 3 victory (120+1. minute).
