<\/p>\nLothar Matth\u00e4us is convinced that Said El Mala wants to move to Borussia Dortmund and supports a transfer.<\/p>\n
“El Mala wants to join Dortmund,” Matth\u00e4us wrote in his Sky column. “He may not be saying that out loud. But of course it is more interesting to play in the Champions League and for the top CL places than to avoid the bottom third with Cologne.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With his national team ambitions also in mind, Matth\u00e4us believes a move to BVB makes sense for the 19-year-old left winger: “To put himself forward to new national team coach J\u00fcrgen Klopp, international matches are especially important. El Mala could certainly take a big step if the move to Dortmund were to go through. With his performances in Cologne, he has shown that he is ready.”<\/p>\n
Over the past few days, the poker over El Mala has intensified. According to widespread reports, the player has asked to leave. The two clubs are currently haggling over a fee. Cologne are reportedly demanding \u20ac50 million.\u00a0“That is a lot of money, that is basically two Adeyemis,” Matth\u00e4us said. Karim Adeyemi joined FC Barcelona a few days ago for \u20ac22 million.<\/p>\n
AS Roma are also in the running<\/p>\n
“Dortmund, too, have their limits,” Matth\u00e4us explained. “But everyone knows the market, everyone knows the rules: I do think a fee in the region of \u20ac40 million should at least lead to talks.” That is also said to be the range of Dortmund’s highest offer so far, although it includes bonuses that are reportedly unrealistic to achieve. However, after the friendly defeat to Fortuna D\u00fcsseldorf (1-2) at the weekend, BVB sporting director Ole Book described the figures as a “flood of false information”.<\/p>\n
Roma, meanwhile, are said to be willing to spend significantly more than \u20ac40 million on El Mala. He has also been repeatedly linked with various Premier League clubs in the past. El Mala’s contract in Cologne runs until 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lothar Matth\u00e4us is convinced that Said El Mala wants to move to Borussia Dortmund and supports a transfer.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":563139,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[30065,14537,180517,85,46,206696,105,9461],"class_list":["post-563138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-borussia-dortmund","tag-bundesliga","tag-fc-koeln","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-s-el-mala","tag-sports","tag-transfers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=563138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563138\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/563139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=563138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=563138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=563138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
