De Sky: Guardiola is interested in Said Marra and is closely inspecting him. Cologne has a price tag of 40 million euros

According to news from Sky Sports Germany, Cologne's rising star Said Marra has now also attracted the interest of Manchester City coach Guardiola, and he and his team are closely examining the player.

According to reports, Manchester City coach Guardiola is very interested in Cologne's 19-year-old forward Said Mara and is closely observing him. The top coach has personally reviewed many of the player's game videos and clips, and City scouts recently attended Cologne's games to get a closer look at him.

Mara played 385 minutes of official games for Cologne this season, and was directly involved in six goals during the period. He was also selected for the current German national team roster. German team coach Nagelsmann said when facing inquiries from Sky Sports Germany: "He meets the requirements for soft skills. He is a very pleasant young man who leaves a good impression."

Nagelsmann said that Mara was "humble enough" but also "bold enough", which left a deep impression on people. In a one-on-one conversation, Nagelsmann clearly told the youngster what areas of improvement he had to address in order to become an "undoubted regular player" in Cologne as well.

Now, it is important for this talented young attacker to maintain this level at the club in order to be able to participate in next summer's World Cup. Now the hype surrounding him is huge, with many teams in Germany and internationally already eyeing him. The report stated that in addition to Manchester City, it is worth mentioning that Bayern is also paying attention to him, and Dortmund has also included him in the target list.

However, for these top German clubs, Mara's transfer may be difficult to achieve because: Cologne has extended the contract with Mara until 2030 and is now demanding a transfer fee of more than 40 million euros.

The players and Cologne plan to hold talks in the winter, but Mara will never feel pressured by this. The 19-year-old feels very comfortable in Cologne and is looking to take the next step in his career - news that Cologne fans will certainly be happy to hear...
