Denis Huseinbašić, 24, is moving to Portuguese club Braga. The transfer is considered more of an escape than a surprise, as the midfielder, who has a contract until 2027, played a minor role last season with 15 appearances and 7 starts. Braga's interest is not new; BILD reported that the club was also interested in the Köln player last summer.
