After the check, which lasted about an hour and a half, the Frenchman should sign his one-year contract.

It is still unknown whether an additional urological examination will be carried out after the bad testicular tumor diagnosis by BVB record purchaser Sebastien Haller (28, came from Ajax Amsterdam for 31 million euros).

The Modeste deal from 1. FC Köln to BVB became public on Sunday. According to BILD information, Modeste comes to BVB for a fee of 5 million euros for one year. There he earns around 6 million euros.

Cologne Managing Director Christian Keller first confirmed the transfer: “At the request of Tony Modeste, we reached a verbal agreement with BVB this afternoon about his move to BVB.”

Modeste was no longer in the squad for Cologne’s Bundesliga opener against Schalke (3-1). Cologne coach Steffen Baumgart was particularly upset about the timing of the change.

He grumbled: “It pisses me off that something like this comes out on the day of the game of all things. And it didn’t come from us. That puts us in a difficult situation four hours before the game and as a coach I have the arse card. It’s just proper that you keep something like that under the cover and don’t walk around with it in a boastful manner.”

Managing Director Christian Keller (43) also complained: “It annoys me that it picked up speed on the day of the game.”

In the morning there were consistent media reports about the Modeste change. At the same time, both FC and BVB finally made an official statement on an agreement on the transfer in the afternoon.
