Calvin Brackelmann, a favorite of coach Lukas Kwasniok and a top performer at SC Paderborn, is a target for 1. FC Köln. Known for his speed, he reached 35.83 km/h last season, making him the fastest player at Paderborn.

Calvin Brackelmann has attracted interest from two English clubs, including FC Middlesbrough, as reported by the portal 'eflanalysis.com'. Additionally, clubs from the Bundesliga are also interested in the centre-back. Brackelmann is contracted to Paderborn until 2026, and the club may consider selling him in the summer to secure a transfer fee, especially if financially strong representatives from England or Bundesliga clubs are vying for the 1.96-meter tall defender.
