Borussia Dortmund, according to Sky Germany's Patrick Berger, is preparing an improved offer for Said El Mala.
The pay-TV channel understands that Dortmund's next bid is set to be submitted to 1.FC Köln some time later this week.
In what would be their third offer for the 19-year-old, Dortmund is expected to table €40million guaranteed plus bonuses.
Their most recent bid was €34million with €10million in bonuses, so BVB aims to soften up Effzeh through the bonus structure again.
The clubs recently had direct talks again, but they are still apart, while Köln still wants at least €50million for the German sensation.

Yesterday, it was reported that Borussia Dortmund had offered 1.FC Köln a transfer fee of €26million plus €16million in add-ons for Said El Mala.
Köln immediately rejected Dortmund's offer and now, according to the Geissblog, Effzeh have declared negotiations "ended" immediately.
The Cathedral City club's management is known to be demanding a €50 million transfer fee and the Cologne bosses are reportedly annoyed by BVB's approach.
Specifically, they “disagree with how Dortmund allegedly tried to influence the player to make a transfer more likely.”
By contrast, the Express senses, “rumblings are already circulating that El Mala will be under contract with BVB in a few weeks.”

Ahead of the upcoming 2026-27 Bundesliga season, 1.FC Köln are working hard to beef out their squad with new arrivals.
One such name set to arrive at the Cathedral City club is Gideon Mensah after the two parties reached an agreement on a move.
Mensah, a left-back by trade, will join Effzeh on a free contract provided he completes his medical today, Friday 10 July.
