Borussia Dortmund is set to make a renewed bid for Cologne's attacker Said El Mala, according to Sky Germany reports. The German club is anticipated to submit their offer this week, which is projected to be €40 million plus bonuses, an escalation from their earlier €34 million plus €10 million proposal. This would mark Dortmund's third attempt at acquiring the 22-year-old forward from the Bundesliga side.
However, Cologne's resistance remains strong, as they are demanding an initial offer of €50 million. The German club's interest in El Mala is a result of Premier League side Brentford's submission of a €55 million package for the player. El Mala, despite receiving interest from multiple clubs, has expressed a clear preference for joining Borussia Dortmund.
The German side remains determined to secure the highly-regarded winger, who delivered an outstanding 2025/26 season while at Cologne. His impressive performance included scoring 13 goals and providing four assists in the German top flight.
