Borussia Mönchenglabach’s rental access Haris Tabakovic, despite its expandable operating times at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, does not see a career knick last season. The 31-year-old Bosnian moved from the Kraichgauer to the foals on Friday without a purchase option. “I honestly have to say that it has not been up and down the last few years. When you see my way, you can see that it has been going up steadily in recent years. And you always have pressure. Especially with a special club like Gladbach,” Tabakovic is quoted from the “Bild”.
At Hertha BSC, the veteran 2023/24 became the top scorer in the 2nd Bundesliga with 22 goals, then switched from the capital to TSG to the upper house for 3 million euros. There the attacker came to four goals and one template in 29 games over 1,049 minutes-however, only eight starting eleven nominations were sufficient. At Borussia, Tomas Cvancara (24) is planned as a replacement for the Antalyaspor standing before a change of loan.
It does not bother him that the transfer agreement between Hoffenheim and Gladbach does not contain a possibility of a fixed obligation. “So it fits for me. Too often too much is talked about in football and looking into the future. It is about showing performance here now and in the end by performance is evaluated what happens next summer. My mentality is to fight and work, and only that counts,” said Tabakovic.
Gladbach coach Gerardo Seoane had previously talked about the plans with the newcomer. “Haris is a kind of player that we now don’t have in our squad. A robust, strong headball striker, against whom it is often uncomfortable. He has a very good mentality, is an absolute team player and has a certain experience,” said the Swiss. In the attack center, the foals must continue to do without national strikers Tim Kleindienst, the 29-year-old had had to undergo meniscus surgery.

Seoane said about the pragmatic solution with Tabakovic: “We know what his strengths are and also where his deficits are. In our opinion, he is the best possible solution from the possibilities that we have now offered. We cannot make a purchase in all positions that we want.” Tabakovic showed the highest market value of his career with EUR 3 million shortly after his TSG transfer-most recently it was devalued to EUR 2.5 million. Before his stay in Germany, he was active for Austria Vienna, the Grasshopper Club Zurich, the BSC Young Boys and Austria Lustenau.
