"Brighton are unwilling to meet Cologne's €50m valuation, as they feel it is way too much. Their offer was about €35m plus €4m in add-ons."
"El Mala looks very likely to be playing Premier League football next season. The way is clear for Chelsea and Newcastle to enter the race."
"A lengthy discussion took place last Thursday between Cologne's management, the player, and his family, likely discussing Brighton's withdrawal from the pursuit."
"Bayern are not looking to sign El Mala at the moment, despite previous interest in the 19-year-old winger."
Said El Mala is likely to leave Cologne this summer, with Brighton cooling their interest due to Cologne's €50m valuation. Brighton's offer of €35m plus €4m in add-ons was deemed insufficient. Reports indicate that Chelsea and Newcastle United may now have a chance to sign El Mala. A recent meeting between Cologne's management and the player’s family discussed Brighton's withdrawal and the potential for better offers. Bayern Munich is not currently pursuing El Mala.
