Borussia Mönchengladbach: Nico Elvedi wants to extend – transfer burst

Transfer failed in the summer

Nico Elvedi’s move from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Wolverhampton Wanderers seemed close, but the “Wolves” had not heard anything more from him, as “Fohlen” managing director Roland Virkus said shortly before the transfer deadline.Picture“-newspaper explained. Elvedi stayed at VfL after long-running speculation. Now, according to the paper, the Swiss defender is hoping for a contract extension.

The 26-year-old is looking to extend his contract, which expires in 2024, by at least one season. However, Elvedi is only willing to do this if an exit clause of 10 million euros is anchored in the contract. “If it doesn’t happen that way,” Virkus had said when Elvedi’s departure was still looming, “we will have to find a solution with regard to the contract situation.”

Elvedi himself recently commented on his situation as follows: “It was never the case that I wanted to leave here at all costs. On the contrary, I have been here for eight years and really appreciate the club and all the people here. Of course the last few weeks haven’t been easy, but we’ve always talked to each other and everyone has played with open cards. Now I’m just looking forward to the games with Gladbach, I want to fight my way back into the team and of course we’ll talk about the future.” He was missing from the squad on the first two matchdays, and in the 2-1 defeat against FC Bayern he played for seven Minutes from the bench.

If it is extended according to the Hofmann model, I think 10 million is a bit meager. He is currently worth 18 million if he plays a good season and puts himself in position for the European Championships his MV will go up again – he was already worth a lot more.
Since we weren’t ready to let us go for 10 million now, why should we be next summer? …

Elvedi’s market value had gradually reduced after several appreciations and devaluations in recent years and, after the peak value in 2019 (35 million euros), is now estimated at 18 million euros. This makes him the most valuable defensive player in the squad.
