Rumor: Sporting KC Linked to 20-Year-Old German Center Back

While it’s unlikely that much concrete news will come out in the week between Christmas and New Years, it doesn’t stop the silly season train from chugging along. The latest rumor comes from NogoMania that Sporting Kansas City are targeting a 20-year-old German center back, Robert Voloder.

The German spent the first half of the Slovenian season on loan with NK Maribor, who were top of the table before the winter break. According to the article, Maribor made the loan move from FC Koln (Bundesliga) permanent for between 50,000 and 100,000 Euros. It’s not often a team buys a player and then immediately flips them again, but it could happen.
