FC Cologne edges closer to bringing in Hoffenheim's Bülter - FC Köln is on the verge of signing Hoffenheim's Bülter
Marius Bülter Set to Join 1. FC Cologne
Marius Bülter, a versatile forward with a hunger for football, is on the brink of joining Bundesliga newcomers 1. FC Cologne. The 32-year-old striker is expected to sign a contract with the club until 2027, extending his professional career in the first division to six years.
Lukas Kwasniok, the coach of 1. FC Cologne, expressed his delight at the impending reinforcement. Kwasniok stated that Bülter's hunger for football is a common denominator in their interest, and he emphasized the need for versatility and flexibility in Bülter's positioning for the team.
Bülter began his career primarily within the Hoffenheim youth and reserve teams. He progressed through Hoffenheim's ranks, honing his skills mainly as a defender. However, he has shown his ability to play multiple forward positions for 1. FC Cologne.
Bülter's solid defensive abilities, tactical awareness, and composure on the ball have made him an attractive prospect for 1. FC Cologne, who sought to strengthen their defensive options with young, promising talent.
Before joining 1. FC Cologne from Hoffenheim, Bülter played for FC Schalke 04 and joined TSG 1899 Hoffenheim two years ago for a transfer fee of three million euros. His previous contract was with Zuzenhausen, a reference to Hoffenheim's training ground.
After his medical check, Bülter is expected to sign his contract with 1. FC Cologne later today. The city where 1. FC Cologne is based is not specified, but Bülter is excited about the prospect of playing for the club in front of 50,000 fans.
The transfer fee for Bülter from Hoffenheim to 1. FC Cologne is estimated to be between 1 to 1.5 million euros. The exact details of the transfer are still to be confirmed.
This transfer marks an important step for 1. FC Cologne as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming Bundesliga season. The club's fans eagerly await the official confirmation of Bülter's signing.
The Commission has not yet adopted a decision on the application of Article 93 (2) of the Treaty to the aid scheme, as football, particularly sports like football and European leagues, continue to face uncertain financial regulations. Meanwhile, Marius Bülter, a versatile forward crowned with a hunger for football, is poised to join 1. FC Cologne, a move that may bring stability to the team's footballing ambitions.
