Jóhannesson surprises fans: Change from Düsseldorf to Cologne causes excitement!

Köln, Deutschland - The change from ísak Bergmann Jóhannesson from Fortuna Düsseldorf to the 1st FC Köln caused a lot of excitement. The transfer was officially announced on Saturday after the first news was circulating on Friday. Cologne activated the exit clause of the talented midfielder and paid around 5.5 million euros to bring it to the cathedral city. The association has thus signed a long -term contract until 2030, which gives Jóhannesson the Chance to shine in the Bundesliga.

The 22-year-old Islander, who is versatile both on the six and eight position, has already drawn attention to himself last season. For Fortuna Düsseldorf, he scored 11 goals and scored 7 hits, making him the highest rated field player in the club. Cologne's sports director Thomas Kessler is convinced that Jóhannesson has the desired football quality and is ready to prove himself in the Bundesliga. "It is important for us to sign players who strengthen our team," says Kessler.

emotional reactions of fans

Not all fans react positively to the change of player. Many supporters of Fortuna Düsseldorf feel the transfer as a betrayal. The resentment is particularly expressed on social media, where some supporters breathe their displeasure and even pronounce insults and requests for injury. Jóhannesson had previously emphasized how much he and the club love and his wish to play with Fortuna in the Bundesliga. A clear announcement that was all surprised is that he was acted as a potential new captain.

"The decision was not easy for me," wrote Jóhannesson after announcing the change on Instagram. "I understand if some hate me now." In order to avoid further negative reactions, he blocked the comment function on his profile. This shows how serious the situation is and that he perceives the feelings of the fans.

A look at the career of the new "goat"

The Icelander was previously a regular at Fortuna and came to Germany from Copenhagen in 2023. In his 61 missions in the second Bundesliga, he scored 15 goals and scored 11 assists. A memorable moment of his career was a late goal on February 23, which secured his team the important point against 1. FC Köln. Jóhannesson is now coming back as a player, but in another role - this time as a goat.

his change shows that 1. FC Köln is working on the coming season with a clear focus and relies on young talents who have the potential to strengthen the team. And the fans can be excited to see what the offensive midfielder will do in the next Bundesliga season.
