Transfer battle for German starlet: Bayern face competition for El Mala | OneFootball

The transfer poker surrounding shooting star Said El Mala is heating up – and FC Bayern is apparently facing some high-profile competition.

According to BILD, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan have now also entered the race for the 19-year-old attacking player from 1. FC Köln. This adds to the list of interested parties, as FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund had already set their sights on the DFB gem.

According to the report, it is “quite likely” that El Mala will leave the club next summer. A transfer in the winter, however, is considered out of the question. Köln is determined to keep the youngster until the end of the season.

El Mala is considered one of the biggest talents in German football. This season, he has scored three goals and provided one assist in seven league matches.

According to Sport BILD, Bayern scout Nils Schmadtke already registered the record champions’ interest last summer. The club internally informed 1. FC Köln that they would want to join the bidding in the event of a possible transfer. El Mala is reportedly on Munich’s shortlist for upcoming transfer windows – as a potential future solution for the attacking wings.

Borussia Dortmund is also said to be closely monitoring the shooting star, according to media reports. At BVB, El Mala is considered a potential successor to Karim Adeyemi, should he not extend his contract, which runs until 2027. Köln, meanwhile, is planning for a possible transfer fee of around 35 million euros if the talent moves in summer 2026, according to Sky.

With interest from PSG and Inter, the transfer now has an international dimension. For FC Bayern, the situation is not getting any easier – the race for El Mala is on, and by summer at the latest, the poker is sure to heat up.
