Borussia Dortmund and 1. FC Köln negotiate €50 million Saïd El Mala transfer
Borussia Dortmund has tabled an offer of €34 million plus up to €10 million in performance bonuses for 19‑year‑old winger Saïd El Mala, while 1. FC Köln insists on a minimum price of €50 million. The clubs have exchanged proposals, and Brentford reportedly submitted a written €50 million offer of its own.
A t‑online poll of 1,056 readers showed the fan base divided: about half would oppose a sale this summer, while the other half would consider a transfer only if the €50 million floor were met. Köln acquired El Mala two years ago for €350,000, meaning the demanded fee represents a rise of more than 12,000 percent. The player recently scored in Köln’s 8‑0 friendly win over Bergisch Gladbach.
