Isak Johannesson: Excitement to change to 1. FC Köln!

Köln, Deutschland - The 1. FC Köln is facing an exciting new addition. Isak Johannesson, the talented player of Fortuna Düsseldorf, is expected to switch to the billy goats. This will be officially announced on Sunday after he recently traveled to Cologne in a private jet from Reykjavik to do his medical check and other formalities, such as t-online.de reported.

Johannesson previously emphasized his connection to Fortuna Düsseldorf and even kissed the Düsseldorf coat of arms after one of his goals. However, this gesture does not seem to have been well received, because after the change became known, the player received a flood of angry comments from Fortuna on Instagram. In order to stop the anger of the trailers, he deactivated the comment function on his profile. Thanks to an exit clause of 5.5 million euros, the transfer was realized, which was only valid until Saturday, such as Transfermarkt.de added.

Questions about the future and coaching legend

The current search for coach at 1. FC Köln remains exciting. Lukas Kwasniok is considered a favorite, but the former coach Bo Svensson is also considered. Svensson, who was released from Union Berlin in December 2024, could also imagine a move to England. In the meantime, Timo Hüber is moving to the distance, who claims to play abroad before starting a family.

Another topic is the change from Julian Hettwer, who is now changing from Borussia Dortmund II to Fortuna Düsseldorf free of charge and thereby lost the race for the talented player for Cologne. So far, the goats have committed Ragnar Ache as the only new addition for the coming season, while talented players like Jonas Sterner from Dynamo Dresden are about to move to Hannover 96.

finance and perspectives

The opinion about the transfer strategy of FC Köln is shared. Critics criticize the lack of creativity and the club's scouting quality. There is concern that the use of two thirds of the budget does not bring the hoped -for positive future for new players. There is also ambiguity as to whether enough perspectives can be created for the youth players. Players like Finkgräfe are considered valuable, and there are considerations to sell him to generate money for new obligations.

The topic of integration of young players in the squad remains a challenge. El Mala, an emerging talent, is also mentioned that may be planning a return to the team. The discussion about future transfers and their effects on the club will certainly continue, while 1. FC Köln is in the middle of it and wants to tackle the coming season with fresh wind.
