As earlier reported, FC Köln coach Markus Gisdol said he left Cordoba out of his line-up for Saturday's 6-0 win over Altglienicke in the DFB-Pokal, because the striker is in negotiations over a move away from the club.
It is now reported that the 27-year-old is on the verge of joining Hertha in a deal worth around €15 million.
According to Transfermarkt, Ondrej Duda could move in the other direction – from Hertha to Köln – as part of the deal. Should they go ahead with a swap deal involving Duda, Hertha would only have to pay around €8 million for Cordoba, as per the report.
