The BVB reserve reacted to Felix Paschke (21 )’s cruciate ligament tear shortly before the transfer is closed and got a prominent name. From the offspring of Borussia Mönchengladbach, Tony Reitz (20) strengthens the midfield center of the Dortmund U23. Reitz, the younger brother of DFB player and foal professional Rocco (22), signed a contract until 2027.
“Actually, Tony should only come to us in the summer, but the conversations with him went so well that we have sought an immediate change from both sides. Tony will definitely fill out the gap that Felix Paschke left through his serious injury, ”said the sporting director Ingo Preuss.
Reitz had missed most of the first half of the season due to a knee injury, only gave his comeback for Gladbach II in November. He contributed three goals and four templates for the foal reserve in a total of 29 games. “We would have liked to bound Tony in the long term and showed him a perspective. Unfortunately, he decided on a different way, ”said Director Development Mirko Sandmöller.
