Jakub Kamiński, who arrived at 1. FC Köln from VfL Wolfsburg on a season-long loan this summer, has already voiced his wish to remain with the club permanently. While the Polish international's contract with Wolfsburg extends to 2027, Köln holds an option to purchase him in 2026. Speaking while on duty with the Polish national team, Kamiński expressed his hope that a successful season would persuade Köln to make his transfer permanent. His preference is driven by a promising start at his new club, which is a significant change from his time at Wolfsburg, where he made only 12 starts last season. He also revealed that a pivotal conversation with Köln's coach Lukas Kwasniok and sporting director Thomas Kessler sealed his decision to join, as he was looking for the trust he felt was not present at VfL.
