“Wish to do something new”
Now it’s official: Breel Embolo is leaving Borussia Mönchengladbach and joining AS Monaco. As the Ligue 1 club reported on Friday evening, the 25-year-old attacker signed a contract until 2026. Since his working paper with the “foals” was originally valid for one year, the Swiss national player will have to pay a fee, which is reportedly should be over 12 million euros.
The Gladbachers are thus generating a small plus with the sale of Embolos, which was committed by FC Schalke 04 in 2019 for 11 million euros. Embolo is one of the ten most expensive sales by the Lower Rhine club. After Takumi Minamino, Embolo is the second reinforcement for the Monegasque team this summer.

“I am very happy to join AS Monaco and to be part of this great project. I thank those in charge for giving me the opportunity to discover such a big club. I have the will to integrate myself as quickly as possible and bring my qualities to the team. I’m looking forward to discovering my new surroundings and Ligue 1, a league whose level is constantly evolving,” said Embolo, who leaves Gladbach after 106 games and 45 direct goals. Borussia’s sporting director Roland Virkus explained: “Breel approached us with the desire to do something new. In the end we found a solution that satisfies all parties.”
