Ondrej Duda’s move was just a few days before. The midfielder has now left Cologne and will be loaned to Hellas Verona until the end of the season.

In view of the ideas of the internal competition, Duda fell behind in sporting terms. Coach Steffen Baumgart sees the trio of Mathias Olesen, Denis Huseinbasic and Dejan Ljubicic ahead of Duda. Thus, all parties agreed that a change was the best option.
Duda missed training on Wednesday. “Ondrej is in negotiations and we have now given him the chance to clarify the transfer activities,” it said a few days ago. Hellas Verona was interested – and now it’s going to the club from Serie A, as “Effzeh” announced on Sunday shortly before the guest appearance at Schalke.
“Ondrej approached us with the wish that he would like to change. We agreed to this request and ended up on loan to Hellas Verona. We wish Ondrej all the best for his time in Verona, above all that he has many good things to do performance can contribute to staying up in Serie A,” said FC Managing Director Christian Keller.
Duda came to Cologne in September 2020 and since then has made 88 games for the Rhinelanders, in which he has scored eleven times. He will now play in Italy until the end of the season.
