Brentford Hub
Brentford is on the verge of completing a sensational move for a 20-year-old Bundesliga starlet after submitting a significantly improved offer. The deal, worth up to €50m, includes a guaranteed base fee of €45m and performance-related bonuses.
What happened?
The transfer will shatter Koln's previous record for a departure, surpassing the €29m fee received for Anthony Modeste in 2018.
Why it matters for Brentford
The arrival of the young player could signal the birth of a formidable German wing pairing for Brentford, joining fellow countryman Kevin Schade.
What comes next?
The player's mother, who acts as his primary advisor, is expected to provide her final consent by Friday. Brentford has placed a time limit on their current offer to ensure the deal is wrapped up swiftly.
