Overview

  • Multiple reports say Union and Galatasaray have an agreement in principle for Köhn, with final signatures still pending.
  • Sky reports a deal just under €5 million and a contract to 2029, while other outlets cite a €5 million fee with a 10% sell-on clause versus Sky’s 20%.
  • Köhn remains under contract at Galatasaray until 2026 and is valued at around €5 million.
  • Werder Bremen and 1. FC Köln also pursued the 26-year-old, with Werder declining a €5.1 million option and reportedly offering about €3.5 million.
  • The left-back made 30 appearances for Werder last season, scoring two goals with two assists, and would address Union’s shortage on the flank.
