Swiss-Ghanaian defender Gregory Wüthrich’s anticipated move from Sturm Graz to FC Köln has been derailed, marking yet another setback in his transfer saga.
Wüthrich, a standout for the reigning Austrian champions, was reportedly on Köln’s radar this winter following their acquisition of Jusuf Gazibegovic from the same club. However, according to Austrian outlet Steirerkrone, persistent knee problems once again thwarted the deal.
This isn’t the first time Wüthrich’s medical history has impacted his career moves. Last year, a proposed transfer to FC Augsburg fell apart for the same reason after the Swiss international failed his medical examination.
Despite his undeniable talent and strong performances for Sturm Graz, Wüthrich’s recurring knee issues continue to cast a shadow over his potential moves to higher-profile leagues.
As FC Köln adjusts their plans, the billy goats will likely look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements, leaving Wüthrich to focus on his fitness and contributions to Sturm Graz’s title chase in Austria.
