Union Berlin can keep an important player: Rani Khedira makes a transfer decision and stays with Union. The vice-captain of Union Berlin has decided against a transfer after talks with 1. FC Köln.

What happened?

According to 'Bild', the decision of the midfielder is now in favor of Union. The tabloid reports that Khedira will stay in Köpenick and will also wear the Union jersey in the upcoming season.

Why is this important for Union?

Union Berlin finished the 2025 season in 11th place in the Bundesliga with 39 points, 10 wins, 9 draws, and 15 losses from 34 games, with a recent form of WWDLL.

What's next?

The fact that the performer is also extending his contract, which expires in 2027, does not mean that. There are currently no negotiations in this regard. It is possible that Khedira will leave for free next summer and will receive a corresponding high signing fee from a new club. Union Berlin scored 44 goals and conceded 58 goals in the last season, resulting in a goal difference of -14. The last win was a 4-0 against FC Augsburg on May 16, 2026.
