Dejan Ljubičić: Cologne hopes for a contract extension in the promotion race!

The 1st FC Köln could again take hope for a contract extension with Dejan Ljubicic after the talks between the club and the player advisor Christian Marth have taken a positive course. Like laola1.at , a meeting took place on Monday, in which Marth explained: "It was a good conversation in a pleasant atmosphere." The consultant emphasized that 1. FC Köln was still the "first point of contact" for Ljubicic. The mutual interest in continuing the cooperation is high, but everything depends on the club's sporting success.

Are the course for the recurrence?

The 27-year-old midfielder's contract expires in summer, and for a long time an extension seemed almost impossible. After the descent of 1. FC Köln, a move to the Bundesliga, with VfL Wolfsburg in particular, seemed likely. Nevertheless, the club decided to keep Ljubicic to fight for resignation in the current season. The team under coach Gerhard Struber is currently taking second place in the table and therefore has a good chance of returning to the first division.

The future position of the club will be crucial for whether Ljubicic remains or not. The consultant made it clear that a final decision was still pending. "As long as there is no clear sporting tendency, it is difficult," says Marth. The 1. FC Köln has made it clear in the past few months that they do not consider the player's early change so as not to endanger the sporting opportunities. The developments in the coming weeks will show whether the desire for a long collaboration is fulfilled, as watson.de reports.
