"The star of Said El Mala has risen fast. He broke into 3. Liga side Viktoria Köln's first team within months of joining the club as a youth prospect and was snapped up by 1. FC Köln just several months after that. Loaned back to his former side, El Mala enjoyed his first and only full season at Viktoria and used that one season to turn heads and catch the attention of a lot of scouts."
""Current reports that the player's agents are meeting with Dortmund, Bayern, or clubs from England are incorrect. As things stand, there's absolutely no reason to leave 1. FC Köln - neither this winter nor next summer," the agent declared, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "There's currently nothing to prevent Said from playing for Köln next season, especially since the club is developing very positively."
Said El Mala advanced quickly from Viktoria Köln's youth ranks into the 3. Liga first team and secured a move to 1. FC Köln. A loan back to Viktoria produced a breakthrough season that drew significant scout interest. At 19 and a Germany U-21 international, he moved into Köln's Bundesliga squad and delivered match-winning contributions across six league appearances. Links to Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich followed, but his agent denied any meetings with those clubs and stressed there is no reason for El Mala to leave Köln this winter or next summer while the club manages his development.
