Nine games before the end of the 2022/23 Bundesliga season, Borussia Mönchengladbach can look back on a rather sobering season. The eleven from the Lower Rhine are in tenth place in the secure middle of the table, but the gap to the ranks that entitle them to participate in international business is already nine points away. This is probably one of the reasons why the foals should face a mega upheaval in the summer.
15 players could turn their backs on Borussia Mönchengladbach after the current season. This is reported by the “image”.
Star striker Marcus Thuram and full-back Ramy Bensebaini, who have been top performers at Gladbach for years, will definitely leave the club in the summer. The duo’s contracts expire at the end of June, so Borussia are not collecting a fee.
Thuram has been traded in the English Premier League and at FC Bayern in recent weeks, while Bensebaini has been closely associated with a move to BVB for months.
With Manu Koné (contract until 2025), another top performer is said to be about to say goodbye. The 21-year-old is likely to be involved with an absolute top club and should flush Gladbach up to 30 million euros into the coffers. Money that is urgently needed for the upheaval. For this reason, the “image” also connects Joe Scally (contract until 2026) with a change: with an offer of around twelve million euros, the Bundesliga club would be willing to talk, it is said.
Gladbach does not want to lose stars again for free
In order not to have to let two top stars go free of charge again in the coming year, the whereabouts of Florian Neuhaus and Nico Elvedi should also be in the stars. The working papers of the regular players end in 2024, if an extension is not agreed, a veritable transfer fee could probably only be collected in the summer of 2023. According to the report, there is currently no sign of further cooperation.
As further farewell candidates, the report names Hannes Wolf, Stefan Lainer, Mamadou Doucouré, Conor Noß (all contract until 2024) and Marvin Friedrich (contract until 2026), who currently play no role anyway, as well as the currently awarded Jordan Beyer (contract until 2026) and Rocco Reitz (contract until 2024).
The contracts of the veterans Lars Stindl, Tony Jantschke and Tobias Sippel are also running out, as is Julian Weigl’s loan contract. Who leaves this quartet and who stays should be “open”.
