Rani Khedira, Union Berlin's vice-captain and a German-Tunisian international, is reportedly on 1. FC Köln's extended list of targets during the club's search for a new midfielder. The 32-year-old is considered a solution that would likely only be pursued if other transfer options do not succeed. Khedira, who has been capped 6 times by Tunisia, joined his current club in July 2021. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €2.00m. Borussia Mönchengladbach have also been linked with the player.
