Leart Parqarada (28) continues to believe that despite the 1. FC Köln transfer ban, he will be able to play for the billy goats from the summer. After yesterday’s 0-0 draw against Fortuna Düsseldorf, the FC St. Pauli left-back told ‘Sky’: “I’ve learned one thing over the years: to be patient. We are in constant exchange. But we are confident that this will work and have a happy ending. “
Paqarada’s move to the cathedral city is a done deal. Due to the FIFA ruling, however, the billy goats run the risk of not being allowed to register any players in the next two transfer periods. The World Federation took it for granted that FC incited youngster Jaka Cuber Potocnik to break his contract at Olimpija Ljubljana. The people of Cologne have appealed the verdict and hope that the punishment will be suspended.
