"Bayern Munich have kept FC Koln's rising star Said El Mala on their radar, but talks of making a move for him are premature. The 19-year-old has already made a big impression in Germany, scoring two goals and providing an assist in six appearances, with five of them coming from the bench. He is seen as one of Germany's most promising young talents, and his meteoric rise has caught the attention of top clubs, including Bayern."
"El Mala's agent said: "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. There's currently nothing to prevent Said from playing for Köln next season, especially since the club is developing very positively. "Everyone knows that Said, if he continues to develop at this rate, will eventually take the next step. But he's not going anywhere in the near future; he's staying with FC Köln. We're consciously holding the reins together.""
Bayern Munich are monitoring 19-year-old Said El Mala, but any transfer approach is considered premature. The attacker has scored two goals and provided one assist in six senior appearances, five of which were as a substitute. El Mala is regarded as one of Germany's most promising young talents and has attracted interest from top clubs. He is under contract with FC Köln until 2030, lacks a release clause, and would be valued at roughly £30m (€35m). The player's agent confirmed he will remain at Köln next season and denied meetings with Bayern, Dortmund, or English clubs. Joshua Kimmich has observed his progress, and Bayern face squad decisions including Serge Gnabry's future.
