Seven players who could leave FC Köln in January

According to Bild, FC Köln are ready to offload up to seven players this summer.
FC Köln could have a very active January transfer window, with Bild reporting that the club are looking to offload up to six players.

The Billy Goats are looking to strengthen this winter, especially with their transfer ban currently suspended while the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) considers the club's appeal.

In order to free up funds for new signings, Cologne are reportedly planning to offload several players if possible.

According to Bild, Sargis Adamyan, Dimitrios Limnios, Noah Katterbach, Florian Dietz, Dejan Ljubicic, Justin Diehl and Mathias Olesen are all candidates to leave the club.

Olesen is the only one of the aforementioned players who can be loaned out, while the club is looking to permanently offload the others.

In principle, Köln would prefer to keep Justin Diehl, but as the 19-year-old has turned down a new contract beyond the summer, the club could cash in on him in January unless he changes his mind.
