Krasnodar Eyes Galatasaray Defender Derrick Kohn Amid Rising Transfer Interest

Derrick Kohn’s impressive form last season has sparked renewed speculation over his future, with Russian Premier League club FC Krasnodar reportedly leading the chase for his signature.

The 26-year-old German-Ghanaian fullback, who joined Galatasaray in February 2024, continues to draw attention across Europe following a standout loan spell at Werder Bremen. Kohn featured in 34 matches for the Bundesliga side, contributing two goals and two assists while showcasing his pace, energy, and versatility on both flanks.

Though Spartak Moscow had previously reached an €8 million agreement for Kohn last summer, the deal ultimately collapsed. With Krasnodar now stepping in, the race for the defender appears to be heating up once more.

Currently under contract with Galatasaray until 2026, Kohn is valued at €5 million by Transfermarkt. Several clubs—including Sassuolo, Udinese, and Werder Bremen—are also reportedly monitoring his situation closely.

As transfer talks intensify, Galatasaray could soon be forced to decide whether to hold on to the in-demand fullback or cash in before the window closes.
