"Chelsea might now be in a stronger position, as long as they're prepared to meet Koln's 50m asking price. El Mala looks like he fits into that category after 11 goals and four assists in the Bundesliga this season."
"Brighton would have been prepared to pay 35m, which was not enough for FC Koln. The hope is that's Chelsea. They are interested in the player, but if they'll pay so much for a German talent remains to be seen."
Chelsea is reportedly in a favorable position to sign FC Koln forward Said El Mala, as Brighton's interest diminishes due to financial limitations. Koln's asking price for El Mala is set at 50 million, which Brighton is unwilling to meet. Chelsea has shown interest in the 19-year-old, who has performed well in the Bundesliga this season. Koln is also considering a new deal to retain El Mala if a suitable offer does not materialize from Chelsea or other clubs.
