Red Bull Salzburg
On 6 July 2018, Red Bull Salzburg announced that they have signed Köhn from Leipzig, their unofficial sister club on a four-year contract that will keep him at the club till 31 May 2022.

He conceded two goals from Pedro and Batshuayi as the match ended in a 5–3 loss.[6][7] He's still yet to make his first team debut for Red Bull Salzburg, but has featured for Liefering 12 times.[8]
