No decision has been made yet - Could the Cologne manager be hinting at a future transfer to Stuttgart?
Jaff Chabot, the defensive captain of Cologne, surprised everyone when he decided to leave the team and move on to a club that would allow him to play in the Champions League. Christian Keller, the team's sports director, confirmed the news by saying that Chabot had informed them of his decision the day before.
The shocking news has raised questions about whether Chabot is joining VfB Stuttgart. Previously, Chabot had only mentioned his search for new challenges. However, it seems that Keller may have given away the transfer details unknowingly.
Undercutting the Value: A Costly Mistake
The exit clause in Cologne's contract includes a reduction in price for relegation. What's more, the amount specified in the clause is far lower than what was expected. This means that Cologne is not only losing their best defender, but also at a significantly lower cost. Furthermore, the potential signing of Mark Uth (32) in the second league may have lost its appeal.
Chabot said goodbye to the FC fans on Instagram, expressing his gratitude and pride in having been part of the team.
