German-Libyan left-back Almugera Kabar of Borussia Dortmund is being linked with a summer move to Bundesliga rivals 1.FC Köln, with the deal currently rated at a 40% probability according to Transfermarkt data.
The 20-year-old defender, born in Bremen and standing at 1.86m, is viewed as a potential long-term option on the left side of Köln’s back line as they look to strengthen for the new campaign. Kabar, who is valued at €3.00m, is yet to have a fixed contract expiry date publicly listed with Dortmund, fuelling suggestions he could become a free agent in future windows if no extension is agreed.
Kabar, a left-footed full-back who can operate across the defensive flank, currently wears the number 42 shirt for Dortmund. He holds dual nationality with Germany and Libya, and is regarded as one of the more intriguing young defensive prospects emerging from the Bundesliga side’s set-up.
In his latest appearance for Dortmund – a recent Bundesliga outing against domestic opposition prior to this latest round of transfer speculation – Kabar featured as a left-back in a match that ended in a tight scoreline, contributing primarily with his defensive work rather than in attack. While he did not register a goal or assist, his positional discipline and physical profile underlined why other clubs in Germany are monitoring his situation.
With no confirmed transfer fee and his market valuation relatively modest by top-flight standards, Köln’s interest is seen as an opportunistic move in a market where young, attack-minded full-backs are in demand. Should the switch materialise, it could offer Kabar regular first-team football in the Bundesliga and mark a pivotal step in shaping his senior career and reputation at the top level.
