1. FC Köln is in advanced negotiations with Widzew Lodz for the transfer of Imad Rondic. The transfer fee is reported to be around one million Euros. Rondic has attracted international interest from Ujpest FC, Ludogorets Razgrad, and FC Seoul, but he prefers to join FC Köln. His current contract with Lodz will automatically extend by one year if he plays four more official matches for them.

Imad Rondic, a 25-year-old Bosnian-Herzegovinian striker from Polish club Widzew Lodz, is a potential candidate for 1. FC Köln. He has scored 9 goals and provided 2 assists this season. Described as a classic central striker standing 1.90m tall, Rondic would be available on a free transfer in the summer. However, a winter transfer would cost around 1 million euros. There is uncertainty if he possesses the required experience and quality to immediately enhance Köln's squad.
