1. FC Köln is searching for new offensive players in the Polish Ekstraklasa and has identified Marcel Regula of Zaglebie Lubin as a potential signing. The Bundesliga club has held initial talks regarding a transfer for the 19-year-old, but concrete negotiations have not yet occurred. The Polish U21 international has 7 caps and 2 goals, can play across all attacking positions, and is under contract with Lubin until 2028, having joined the club in July 2024. In the 2025/2026 Ekstraklasa season, Regula made 40 appearances, scoring 6 goals and providing 8 assists. He has a current market value of €7.00m, according to Transfermarkt, and has also been linked with Benfica and Roma. In April 2026, Zagłębie's asking price was reportedly between €8 million and €10 million, while reports in July 2026 suggested the club wanted a fee for a potential transfer to RC Strasbourg to be greater than their club record of €5 million.
