The Tunisian international had previously featured for Cologne before making the switch to Frankfurt, and now comes back in a move that bolsters the club's midfield options.

Read the full story at bundesliga.comSkhiri's return to Cologne is a quietly significant piece of business for both clubs. For Köln, bringing back a player who knows the club, the league, and the city reduces adaptation time — a notable factor for a side typically fighting to consolidate its Bundesliga status. For Frankfurt, the departure frees up wages and minutes as they look to reshape their midfield under their current sporting project. Skhiri remains a reliable, workmanlike Bundesliga midfielder, and the move underlines how squad continuity can itself be a competitive edge in a league where margins are thin.
