Grant-Leon Ranos is apparently about to temporarily say goodbye to Borussia Mönchengladbach in order to get more regular playing time. According to information from “Sky”, the 21-year-old center forward is moving to 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the 2nd Bundesliga. An agreement was reached with the Red Devils and confirmations from the clubs are expected in the next few hours.

Ranos will spend the next six months on loan at FCK. The deal does not include a purchase option. According to reports, the second division team prevailed in its advertising against other well-known competition from the German lower house of football; it is not known exactly which clubs they were. Ranos still has a contract with Gladbach until 2027.
Ranos moved from FC Bayern’s second team to Gladbach on a free transfer in 2023. In his first season, the attacker played ten games (one goal and one assist), so far this season there have been two short appearances lasting just 18 minutes with no involvement in a goal. In the Foals’ attack, Tim Kleindienst, Alassane Pléa and Tomas Cvancara are clearly ahead.
In Kaiserslautern, Daniel Hanslik has so far played the most minutes in the central attack ahead of Ragnar Ache and Jannik Mause. With nine goals, Ache is also the team’s top goalscorer. Despite the great competition here, coach Markus beginning and managing director Thomas Hengen are said to have convinced Ranos to change and were crucial for the Armenian national player’s decision.
