Köln’s rising star Said El Mala to Bayern? Here’s what his agent says | OneFootball

Said El Mala is making headlines nationwide – all the way to Säbener Straße. Now, his agent responds to the transfer rumors surrounding the Cologne shooting star.

At FC Bayern, the search for future solutions in attack is in full swing. According to information from Sky and BILD, Said El Mala is on Munich’s list and has recently been scouted live several times.

The 19-year-old impressed in the Bundesliga with two goals and one assist in his first six appearances. The attacking all-rounder feels comfortable on both wings as well as centrally, bringing pace, a direct approach to goal, and football intelligence.

However, El Mala’s camp is not happy about the speculation. Speaking to the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, his agent made it clear: “Recent reports claiming that the player’s agents are meeting with Dortmund, Bayern, or clubs from England are false. As things stand, there is absolutely no reason to leave 1. FC Köln – neither this winter nor next summer. There is currently nothing preventing Said from playing for Cologne next season, especially since the club is developing very positively. Everyone knows that if Said continues to develop at this pace, he will eventually take the next step. But he’s not going anywhere in the near future; he’s staying at 1. FC Köln. We are consciously keeping control together.”

Gnabry’s future the deciding factor?

At the same time, the topic remains present in Munich. Sky mentions a possible transfer fee of up to 35 million euros. However, BILD also reported that there have been no concrete talks with the record champions so far. Previously, Cologne is said to have rejected a 20 million euro offer from Brighton. Borussia Dortmund is also closely monitoring the situation, according to Sky.

At Bayern, the future of Serge Gnabry also plays a role; his contract runs until 2026, and the sporting management is keeping all options open. If he leaves Munich, interest in Said El Mala could quickly become more concrete.
