Said El Mala has emerged as a sought-after talent in European football, with several Premier League clubs now monitoring the FC Koln attacker closely.
Liverpool and Newcastle United are both reportedly interested in securing the services of the 19-year-old German sensation this summer transfer window.
FC Koln are open to selling El Mala at the right price, with FFP regulations playing a significant role in the German club’s willingness to sanction a departure.
According to reports from FussballDaten, an offer in the region of €50 million would be sufficient to convince Koln to part ways with their prized young attacker.
El Mala enjoyed a remarkable season in the Bundesliga, contributing 13 goals and five assists across the campaign to earn widespread attention from top clubs.
Those 17 goal contributions in a single league season at just 19 years of age underline why some of Europe’s biggest clubs are now scrambling to secure his signature.
Liverpool’s pursuit of El Mala is linked to their ongoing transfer business, with the Reds prioritising a move for Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig as their primary target this summer.
Should Liverpool fail to land the Ivorian international Diomande, El Mala has been identified as a credible alternative who could bring pace and flair to Arne Slot’s attacking options.
Newcastle United are also keen on strengthening their attack, with the club needing to add depth and quality following the departure of Anthony Gordon from their squad.
El Mala’s profile fits the bill for both clubs, given his ability to contribute directly to goals and his proven record of performing at a high level in German football.
Chelsea and Brighton have also been credited with an interest in the teenager, meaning competition for his signature is likely to be fierce in the coming weeks.
Both Liverpool and Newcastle possess the financial resources needed to meet Koln’s asking price, and official proposals could follow as the summer window progresses further.
El Mala will be eager to resolve his future sooner rather than later, with a move to the Premier League representing a significant step forward in his development as a player.
