FC Koln has Vasilis Zagaritis on their list for the left-back position, a role that is vacant because a 5 million euro clause for Lund was not activated. The club has made an approach to Heerenveen for Zagaritis, and Heerenveen has made it clear that the player is for sale for his release clause of 3 million euros.

The Greek portal 'Sportday' reports that 1. FC Köln is making efforts to sign Vasilios Zagaritis, a 25-year-old left-back from SC Heerenveen. It is reported that the club has decided to submit an offer for the player.

SC Heerenveen's 25-year-old Greek winger Vasilios Zagaritis has attracted the interest of Bundesliga clubs 1.FC Köln and FC Augsburg. Panathinaikos, where Zagaritis spent a significant part of his youth training, is also reportedly interested in the player, who is under contract with his current club until mid-2028. Zagaritis joined SC Heerenveen in July 2025 from Almere City for a reported fee of €500,000. In the 2025/2026 Eredivisie season, he made 34 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. The former Greece U21 international has 11 caps and 1 goal. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €3.00m.
