🚨 Is that it now? Media: Köln reject latest El-Mala bid | OneFootball

Yesterday, Sky, among others, reported that Borussia Dortmund had once again submitted an offer to 1. FC Köln in the race for Said El Mala. According to reports, BVB were apparently willing to pay up to €55 million for the winger, including bonus payments. Now, Köln have seemingly responded to the offer.

As the Kölner Express and GEISSBLOG reported just moments ago, Köln have once again rejected the bid. The reason is said to be the base fee being too low. In other words: without the bonus payments, FC would apparently “only” receive €46 million from Dortmund. However, Thomas Kessler and Co. are reportedly only willing to let El Mala join Dortmund if the fixed fee is at least €50 million.

Whether Dortmund will go along with that remains to be seen for the time being.
