Thuram is injured

Borussia Mönchengladbach is looking for a striker for the new season. In the USA, the Netherlands and France, according to “Picture” and “table football“Keep an eye on candidates, as does Dawid Kownacki (26) from Fortuna Düsseldorf. Among other things, it is important to find a long-term replacement for the departure of Marcus Thuram, who the “foals” now have to do without in the short term. The 25-year-old tore a muscle fiber.

At the press conference on Thursday, coach Daniel Farke initially only referred to the upcoming game at VfB Stuttgart on Saturday (3:30 p.m.) when Thuram failed. An assessment of the length of the Frenchman’s absence was initially not heard from the club. VfL announced in the middle of the month that the national player was looking for a different challenge in the summer. Farke said about Gladbach’s search for a striker: “In my opinion, if you want to play a good Bundesliga season, you need at least 30 striker goals – but not necessarily from a single player. Efficiency is important.”

Gladbach’s storm candidates: paid and free transfer players topic

According to “Bild” and “Kicker”, Gladbach has identified specific candidates in the MLS, Eredivisie and Jupiler Pro League. Brandon Vazquez (24) from FC Cincinnati is named by both publications, who would cost a fee, as would Vangelis Pavlidis (24) from AZ Alkmaar and Hugo Cuypers (26, KAA Gent).

But Gladbach should also have free transfer candidates on the list: Jean-Philippe Krasso (25) from AS St. Etienne, for example, and Düsseldorf’s Kownacki, who is also traded at Werder Bremen and Union Berlin, is an issue. The trend in Poland is now said to be towards the Weser, where the Bremen team could be heading towards a sale by Niclas Füllkrug (30). The national striker was also brought into play by “Sky” as a Gladbach candidate. However, the reporting papers assume that the World Cup participant could not be financed by Borussia.
