Now it is official and official! Star striker Davie Selke (29) is leaving 1. FC Köln after only a year and a half. But not quietly.
Knipser Köln, who did not have a second division contract, are now parting ways after failed negotiations over FC’s future Instagram – Account emotional from the fans. But Selke steps up against the crash bosses.
His charges: In the end, the opportunity to continue on the path with Köln and shoot FC back into the Bundesliga was taken away from him.

A week after his FC contract officially expired, Selke wrote: “Hello FC fans. I really don’t know what to write. I felt very comfortable in Cologne and at FC. It’s no secret that I could imagine continuing on the path with you. This opportunity was eventually taken away from me. Thank you for the short but intense time! You are and will remain in my heart. For David.”
Selke passes the buck on to FC sports boss Christian Keller (45). Evenlyn is also involved with Selke’s wife. When fans asked if her husband really took her FC opportunity, she wrote succinctly: “Yes, that’s the case.”
Asking too much or offering too little?
Cologne only lasts 17 months. It is known that Selke wanted to stay. However, he missed the deadline for FC’s bid to pass. The club then stated that the striker’s salary expectations were too high and would exceed the salary structure.

Sports boss Keller said about poker: “The question now is whether there will be another deadline. It also takes 100 percent commitment. This includes not only the sports and the person yes, but also the formal yes.”
Despite the failed initial push, Köln continued to keep the door open for Selke. The new coach Gerhard Struber (47) even personally called his dream striker for the promotion race. The contact then broke off. Although Köln let go of other players after June 30, it was clear that Selke decided not to do so and hoped for an agreement until the end.

Cologne is in danger without Selke
The agreement has not been reached yet. For Selke it is still doubtful where the journey will take him. Apparently there are offers from Saudi Arabia and the US. Also from the 2nd series. A Bundesliga future, however, is unlikely.
For Köln, on the other hand, Selke’s exit is extremely dangerous. Because FC have the most valuable second division squad at the start and the best team for the “promotion mission”. However, Struber has no proven hitter and up-and-coming shooter like Selke. And the relegation season clearly showed how difficult it is for the FC attacker without the top star who was injured many times (including two metatarsal fractures).
However, according to BILD information, the FC was not willing to take any additional financial risks, especially because Selke was susceptible to injuries. So in the end you are left frustrated with accusations, when the last word probably hasn’t been spoken yet.
