The pay-TV channel understands that Dortmund's next bid is set to be submitted to 1. FC Köln some time later this week. In what would be their third offer for the 19-year-old, Dortmund is expected to table €40 million guaranteed plus bonuses. Their most recent bid was €34 million with €10 million in bonuses, so BVB aims to soften up Effzeh through the bonus structure again. The clubs recently had direct talks again, but they are still apart, while Köln still wants at least €50 million for the German sensation.
