FC Köln to bring Max Meyer back to the Bundesliga?
After falling out of favor at Crystal Palace, Max Meyer is being linked with a move back to Germany, where FC Köln are said to be interested in acquiring his services.
FC Köln are apparently looking into the possibility of bringing former Schalke 04 midfielder Max Meyer back to Germany.
Meyer has fallen out of favor at Crystal Palace and hasn't made a single Premier League appearance for the London club this season.
According to the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, Köln are keeping tabs on the 25-year-old with the view of signing him at the end of the season, at which point his contract with Crystal Palace expires.
Meyer's salary expectations could be a potential stumbling block, however. The midfielder currently earns just under €10 million per season, and Köln will not be able to afford him unless he takes a significant pay cut.
'The Billy Goats' have also been linked with a move for Wolfsburg's Yannick Gerhardt, who is also out of contract at the end of the season.
The midfielder is said to be stalling on a new deal, but 'Die Wölfe' haven't given up hope of keeping him at the club.
