According to the Express, El Mala’s mother and agent, Sabrina, is advocating for the talented attacker to stay in Germany, campaigning for a move to Borussia Dortmund.
It is believed that the Westphalian giants – along with Eintracht Frankfurt, RB Leipzig, VfB Stuttgart, and Bayern Munich – are still looking at the promising 19-year-old.
The Express writes how “a conflict seems inevitable” now that two completely opposing interests involving FC Köln and the player’s representatives clash with eachother :
Köln wants to sell him to a Premier League side for the highest possible price, while the El Mala family would prefer him to remain in the German topflight for now.
An offer of €25million from Dortmund is conceivable, which ultimately is only half of the desired minimum transfer fee that Köln want – they value him at around €50million.
