Justin Diehl was slated to join FC Köln's first team and begin summer training with head coach Steffen Baumgart (training begins July 10).
This idea has since been abandoned according to the club-related portal GEISSBLOG.
Instead, the talented youngster is now definitely scheduled for the club's U21 squad, which began training on Monday afternoon in which Diehl participated. The rationale for the measure is contract difficulties in the background.
The Rhinelanders are also claimed to have tried for some time to extend the youngster's contract, which expires in 2024. Any discussions (a contract offer was filed by Cologne) are, however, stalled and on the verge of failure.
There is also discussion regarding a move from Justin Diehl, which may happen as soon as next year. The forward started his youth career with JFS Köln before moving to FC Koln.
Born in Germany, Justin Diehl is of Ghanaian descent. The 18-year-old is a youth international for Germany, having played up to the Germany U19s.
