“First wait”
Julian Weigl can imagine a longer commitment at Borussia Mönchengladbach “very well”. “Otherwise I wouldn’t have taken the step. Nevertheless, we have to wait and see how the next few weeks and months will go,” said the midfielder “Sky” interview.
Weigl returned to the Bundesliga after two and a half years. Shortly before the end of the transfer, Borussia loaned him out from Benfica Lisbon until the end of the season, where he only made three appearances in eight competitive games under German coach Roger Schmidt in the summer.

“If the year is very successful and I can then do my part, then you will see whether both sides are ready for it,” said Weigl about a possible longer stay in Gladbach. “I haven’t spoken to Mr. Virkus yet and asked how much you can pay. That’s not my job either. Then you have to include Benfica as a third party.” Sports director Roland Virkus recently announced in an interview with “Sport Bild” that he would certainly not be able to lift the agreed purchase option of 15 million euros.

The qualification for international business, which guarantees additional income, could help. “Basically, I see the potential in the team that we can get there. Nevertheless, the team is also coming from a difficult year, you shouldn’t forget that,” said Weigl, who is currently sixth with the Gladbachers. “The start was good and you can see that it’s growing together more and more. A development is also visible that it is simply getting better from week to week. That’s why there’s a lot in the team.”
At Borussia Mönchengladbach: Weigl hopes for DFB return
The 26-year-old played for Borussia Dortmund from 2015 to the end of 2019 and won the DFB Cup with BVB in 2017. The EM participant from 2016 made his comeback in the national team in March after a five-year break. He hasn’t completely given up on returning to the DFB team, but he knows it will be difficult. “In my position, it’s not like there’s no quality. But of course, you always have it on the screen and you look at the nomination and would of course wish you were there,” said Weigl.
