FC Köln leading the charge for Estrela Amadora star Ianis Stoica

Ianis Stoica is reportedly on the verge of a winter transfer to Germany. Or so, that's the headline from the news portal 'Fanatik.ro'. 

Several Bundesliga clubs are said to be interested in the attacking player, with 1.FC Köln currently top of the pile. 

Furthermore, RSC Anderlecht are also keen, but it appears more likely that the Estrela Amadora star will soon set up camp in Germany.

Stoica has started the new season in an extremely rich vein of form with four goals and two assists in eight games.

While the Portuguese first division club had demanded €2.5million for the player in summer, the figure could triple this time around.

Furthermore, the signing of the Romanian could be Cologne's way of preparing for the potential departure of Said El Mala.
