It appears that FC Köln will be able to keep Luca Waldschmidt next season.
According to Kicker, the relegated Bundesliga side have agreed a deal with Wolfsbuth to make Waldschmidt's loan permanent.
Köln let his release clause of €3-4 million expire before negotiating a lower fee with Wolfsburg, the report claims.
The deal can go through even though Köln is under a transfer embargo. Formally it is a registration ban. Because he spent the 2023/24 season on loan at the club, the striker does not have to be re-registered.
It's already been announced that Florian Kainz, Mark Uth and Eric Martel will remain in Köln despite their relegation.
