Does Borussia Mönchengladbach use a striker at the Bundesliga competition? As “Bild” reports and can confirm the transfer market with its own information, the foals are interested in Shuto Machino von Holstein Kiel. The 25-year-old had impressively demonstrated his skills to the Gladbachers last weekend when he became the match winner with a double pack.
But even before that, the Japanese sparked the team’s interest from the Lower Rhine. Machino has been active for the storks since 2023 and has reached 16 goals and eight templates in 64 missions so far. In this Bundesliga season, he is with ten goals, which includes the top 15 of the best goal scorers. Last summer, the Gladbachers had already had good experiences with a commitment of an attacker by a league controller when Tim Kleindienst from 1. FC Heidenheim was won.
Since Machino still has a contract in Kiel by 2027, a transfer is due for him. According to the newspaper, this is around 4 million euros-it would be a record sale in Holstein’s club history. With a market value of 3.5 million euros, he is the second most value -worthy player in the KSV squad, who has to tremble for relegation. With three more outstanding games, there are three points behind the Heidenheim relegation rank. The saving 15th place is eight points away. If Holstein descends again, Kiel Machino will have to sell anyway, writes “Bild”.
“At the moment we have a great dependency on Tim small service. Of course we see how we can improve the squad and make less calculating,” said sports director Roland Virkus, who already attracted a professional from Kiel to Mönchengladbach last year: Philipp Sander. Machino could follow, which would also be cheaper than Union Berlin’s Benedict Hollerbach, which is also traded in the Gladbachers.
