1. FC Köln has set a €50 million asking price for Said El Mala, who has been linked with Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea FC.
Brighton may be cooling their interest despite a verbal agreement, as the 19-year-old winger could face challenges meeting Köln's €50 million valuation, with reports suggesting Brighton would only pay up to €35 million plus bonuses.
Nevertheless, a move to the Premier League remains possible, as Chelsea is reportedly prepared to offer €45 million to sign the German youngster.
El Mala is currently represented by his parents, though talks with an experienced agent are reportedly underway to lead potential negotiations.
The 19-year-old recently scored the opening goal for Germany U21 in a 2-0 victory over Greece.
