1. FC Köln have reached an agreement with Mainz to sign Tom Krauß on a season-long loan with an option to buy, according to a report by Sky Germany journalist Dennis Bayer. Should die Geißböcke avoid relegation, that clause then becomes an obligation to buy for around €4m.
Krauß – who spent last season on loan at Luton Town and Bochum – is expected to undergo a medical on Friday.
Köln’s agreement with Mainz is a significant update from yesterday’s stance. Mainz CEO Christian Heidel said that they would only sell Krauß on a permanent basis, as opposed to loaning the player again. But with a purchase clause inserted into the player’s agreement, discussions have accelerated over the last 24 hours.
After returning from a loan spell at Luton which resulted in 23 games in the Championship, Krauß was subsequently loaned to fellow Bundesliga side Bochum for the second half of last season but was unable to prevent the club’s relegation from the top-flight.
