Overview

• Rondic joins Polish side Rakow Czestochowa on a one-year loan that includes a purchase option, according to TAG24.
• Sporting director Thomas Kessler said preseason showed limited chances for Rondic to earn regular minutes at Köln and welcomed the opportunity for him to play internationally.
• The deal was possible because Poland’s transfer window remains open until September 8.
• A proposed last-minute transfer to Karlsruher SC collapsed at the deadline earlier this week, as previously reported by BILD.
• Rondic’s Köln contract runs through 2029, and he registered one goal in ten competitive appearances since arriving last winter.
