FC Köln to Leipzig.

Injuries and transfer rumors

However, some stars such as Timo Werner, André Silva and Amadou Haidara are in the squad for the next test matches, while others, including Janis Blaswich, have been temporarily released for contract discussions.

Interesting transfer rumors are keeping fans on their toes: Xavi Simons is very popular at Chelsea, and there is also interest from Newcastle United for Benjamin Šeško. Competition on the transfer market is intense and the overview of rumors shows that many players are in high demand. The market values ​​vary greatly, from 3.5 million euros to 35 million euros, which highlights the dynamics of these transfers, as Transfermarkt highlights.
