Good news for BVB: Cologne already lining up El Mala successor | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are set to sign Said El Mala from 1. FC Köln. The Black and Yellows also have a good chance of getting the deal done after significantly increasing their own offer.

Meanwhile, Köln are already looking at possible replacements and have concrete plans in mind. That too is a sign that Dortmund are in a very strong position and can hope for a deal.

Mikey Moore, the Tottenham youngster, is one of the players Köln are watching closely. He is expected to join the Cathedral City club on loan. Talks are already underway and progressing well, so there could soon be something official to report here.

Köln want to strengthen their attack

Another player who is right at the top of Köln’s list is Marcel Regula (19). Köln are already in talks with him as well, and the player has also signaled his willingness to move.

According to BILD, the possible fee for Polish club Zaglebie Lubin is in the region of eight million euros. Before Köln can invest that amount in a top talent, another issue in the squad must be resolved – the holding midfield position.

That is the priority for now, also because El Mala is still there at this point. A Moore deal has nothing to do with a defensive midfielder, since he would only be coming on loan anyway. If Köln manage to sign Moore and Regula, they could at least soften the blow of El Mala’s departure, should it ultimately happen.

More than 50 million euros in transfer fee are being discussed for the attacking player as part of the overall package. Dortmund have gradually increased their offer and kept bidding more. That is something that has clearly accelerated the negotiations again recently. However, there is still no final agreement.
