We reported yesterday that regarding the case of Jaka Čuber Potočnik, Köln sought an agreement with Olimpija, but the proposal from the Ljubljana side was declined. We wrote that Olimpija, if accepting the proposal, could have earned more than 500,000 euros. The Dragons have now confirmed that it was indeed the case, also providing a “written proof” or rather a handwritten piece of paper revealing the offer from the member of the German Bundesliga.
Köln actually offered the Dragons a financial compensation of 500,000 euros, along with an additional 250,000 euros after Jaka Čuber Potočnik would have played 10 matches for their senior team.
But that’s not all, Köln also offered Olimpija 10 percent of the player’s subsequent transfer. The club based in Stožice rejected Köln’s offer, ultimately having to settle for 60,000 euros, as awarded to them by the CAS court.
“Just before the deadline, there was a meeting at the Munich airport between the president of NK Olimpija and the vice president of 1. FC Köln, Dr. Carsten Wettig, and the executive director, Mr. Christian Keller. The purpose of the meeting was to reach an agreement on compensation for Potočnik. 1. FC Köln offered a sum of 750,000.00 € in writing. This regulation did not seem appropriate to the German Bundesliga’s lawyers. It was claimed that Potočnik’s immediate dismissal was also justified at NK Olimpija. The Cologne lawyers submitted a written agreement for this. NK Olimpija rejected this agreement as it would mean misleading and distorting facts. This is not an accusation since the correspondence is available to the media,” Olimpija wrote on their club’s website and also published the aforementioned piece of paper.
