Bild reports that Inter Milan and PSG are the next clubs to show interest in 1.FC Köln’s 19-year-old winger Said El Mala.
Earlier in the season, both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund showed an interest in El Mala. While Brighton even made a bid worth €20m for the Krefeld native in the summer. Now, the Champions League finalists in Inter and PSG, have also registered their interest.
Köln have ruled out a move in the winter, but El Mala is open to leaving the club next summer, while Effzeh want to keep him for at least another season.
The 19-year-old’s contract is valid in Müngersdorf until 2030 and does not contain a release clause.
1.FC Köln’s next star:
Effzeh have made a strong start to the season and currently sit sixth in the Bundesliga, and El Mala has been a standout. At the weekend, he came off the bench to score the equaliser against Augsburg in a 1-1 draw.
In 245 minutes, or seven appearances, the 19-year-old has three goals and one assist. During this period, he has only started one game – against Hoffenheim, where he scored the only goal of the game.
