1. FC Köln is looking to acquire German forward Marius Bülter, 32, who is presently with TSG Hoffenheim. The team views Bülter, known for his versatility as a left winger and center forward, as a valuable asset due to his extensive experience in the Bundesliga, having made 146 appearances. Although Bülter's contract with Hoffenheim runs until 2026, Köln is optimistic about obtaining him at a reduced price. The transfer would also serve as a strategic move for Hoffenheim to streamline their offensive lineup, which is currently considered too extensive. Transfermarkt estimates the player's market value at €2.50 million.
