FC Köln brings Ache and Johanneson - where is the transfer budget?

The 1. FC Köln struck twice in the new transfer phase and committed two new players: Ragnar Ache and Isak Johannesson. As part of these transfers, the FC has already spent a large part of its budget of around twelve million euros. The expenditure amounts to almost ten million euros, which presents those responsible for challenges that possible future transfers are concerned. This reports Comee-on-fc.com .

Isak Johannesson was signed for around 5.5 million euros, while Ragnar Ache costs around four million euros. This is an impressive sum, and it remains questionable how much is available for further transfers after these obligations. FC could therefore be forced to rely on loan players or to consider lucrative departures.

newcomer Ragnar Ache - a striker with potential

Ragnar Ache, who was previously active at the 1st FC Kaiserslautern, is considered a reinforcement for the offensive, which was identified as the team last season. Ache has a good experience with his 18 goals from 30 missions in the 2nd Bundesliga. Despite the filter of the performance indicators, it becomes clear that Ache plays both more robust and faster. Last season he scored the most goal shots (106) and was extremely effective in header duels. Only two players were better than him, which underlines his ability to positively influence air -duels. He replaces Tim Lemperle, who changes to Hoffenheim, which could revive the offensive area of the FC, such as

budget under pressure - fluctuation in the squad?

With the new obligations, the rumor mill is also simmering about possible departures. Max Finkgräfe, a talented left -back, has signaled that he does not want to extend his contract with FC, which is likely to make his emigration. Its market value is estimated at around four million euros, and clubs such as Hoffenheim, Frankfurt and Stuttgart are already interested in this. In addition, other players such as Jan Thielmann, Timo Hüber and Damion Downs have contracts by 2026 that the FC is now trying to hold.

Another point of the discussion is the future of Eric Martel, who is considered the most valuable player in the squad and whose performance significantly influences the quality of the Cologne game. If a transfer of Martel occurs, this could be a major challenge for the FC.

The people in charge of 1. FC Köln are facing exciting times. It will soon be shown whether the young talents and possibly new, fresh players can bring the team up to the coming season. What is certain in any case is that something is happening on the transfer market, and FC wants to massively push forward despite the budget pressure.
