1. FC Köln receives a bonus in the championship from Borussia Dortmund

Warm rain of money as additional motivation for points against FC Bayern: Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln will receive a six-figure bonus in the event that Borussia Dortmund becomes German champion on Saturday. That’s what he reported Express.

The billy goats negotiated a corresponding clause when selling their top scorer Anthony Modeste (35) to BVB last summer.

The Frenchman, who shot Cologne into the Conference League with 20 Bundesliga goals in 2021/22, cost Dortmund five million euros as a base fee.

Modeste was supposed to replace Sebastien Haller, who was suffering from testicular cancer. Since he returned in January, Modeste (two goals, contract expires) has hardly had a chance.

On Saturday (3.30 p.m.), Cologne welcomes series champions Bayern Munich, who are threatened with a season without a title for the first time since 2012. A victory in the cathedral city is a prerequisite for the record champions to intercept BVB.

At the same time, he receives FSV Mainz 05, which, like Cologne, has nothing to do with the European Cup and relegation.
