Bayern Munich had been linked with interest in FC Köln attacker Said El Mala, but that interest has reportedly cooled. Brentford has taken the opportunity to make a major bid for the 19-year-old. The offer is reported as €45m total, consisting of €40m fixed and €5m in add-ons. FC Köln has not yet responded, and the club is said to want at least €50m. El Mala has not agreed personal terms with Brentford and wants the clubs to negotiate first. Rumors have suggested he may want a package deal involving his brother Malek, though it remains unclear whether that is his official position.
"Brentford have submitted an offer worth €45m (€40m fixed + €5m add-ons) to 1. FC Köln for Said El Mala. Köln have not responded yet. They still want at least €50m, after @AxelHesse1. Confirmed. #Effzeh"
"El Mala has not yet agreed terms with Brentford. The player first wants the clubs to negotiate. @SkySportDE"
"It is interesting that El Mala does not want to talk personal terms until after the two clubs reach an accord. There have been rumors that El Mala would like to make it a package deal with his brother, Malek, but it is unclear if that is what his official stance will be."
