Overview
- Cologne announced they have re-signed Skhiri from Eintracht Frankfurt and the player has signed a contract running until June 2028.
- Reports give differing fee details with Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg saying €1 million plus add-ons while other coverage says Cologne paid up to €2 million to complete the move.
- Skhiri spent 2019–2023 at Cologne, making 118 appearances and scoring 17 goals before moving to Frankfurt, where he lost a regular place and was made available this summer.
- Cologne expect Skhiri to provide experience and leadership in midfield thanks to more than 200 Bundesliga appearances and his international background with Tunisia.
- The transfer reshapes squad options by returning a familiar player to Cologne and freeing Eintracht Frankfurt to adjust their midfield plans this season.
