Bild reports that Inter Milan and Paris St. Germain have targeted Said El Mala, who is a 19-year-old attacking player for 1. FC Köln. Previously, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Chelsea were also considered interested parties, and Brighton & Hove Albion had an offer rejected in the summer. A transfer in the winter is considered highly unlikely, according to Bild. It is also considered doubtful that the German U21 international can be retained beyond the summer. There is speculation of a potential transfer fee between 30 and 40 million euros for the player. His contract with Köln is valid until 2030 and lacks a release clause. The player's current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €18 million.
