That of Said El Mala will be one of the hottest names of the upcoming soccer market session. The 1.FC Köln talent thanks to his performance has attracted several major clubs, in Germany and abroad. His market price is bound to rise as soon as the’auction starts.

El Mala does not have a good relationship with coach Lukas Kwasniok’and the past few bad weeks have reportedly prompted the 19-year-old to leave the club as early as the end of this season.

In January, Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion had tried to get ahead of other suitors by submitting a €30 million bid, which was immediately rejected by Köln, which expects much higher proposals in the coming months.

Brighton has not given up and is ready to raise its offer, doubling it. The Englishmen would also be ready to sign Said’s brother Malek El Mala in order to convince the player to move across the Channel.

According to rumors, proposals for the Under-21 national team player could exceed 70 million euros. Interested clubs include Manchester City, Barcelona, PSG, Chelsea, Tottenham and even Bayern Munich, looking for a reserve for Luis Diaz.

El Mala has played 22 Bundesliga matches this season, starting on nine occasions. So far he has scored 7 goals and served 3 decisive assists.
