1. FC Köln is intensifying its interest in Rani Khedira, the 28-year-old midfielder of 1. FC Union Berlin. According to Sky reports, current talks are taking place between the Cologne club and the Berlin club's management. Köln has been looking for an experienced central midfielder to fill the role, and Khedira fits this profile perfectly.
Currently, 1. FC Köln is not in agreement with the signing of Ellyes Skhiri, as the player is not available at the moment. Additionally, Edson Álvarez, who was also considered, is too expensive for Köln. Therefore, Köln is now focusing solely on Rani Khedira, whose contract runs until 2028.
So far, no talks have taken place between Köln and Union Berlin regarding a potential transfer fee or further transfer details. However, Köln is optimistic about presenting a new central midfielder within the next two weeks.
1. FC Köln hopes to sign an experienced and talented player for the central midfield position in the form of Khedira, who has previously played for teams like Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur. Khedira could be a valuable addition to Köln's squad.
