A bitter season lies behind Borussia Mönchengladbach. Started with hopes of European business, the foals had to be careful not to fall into the Bundesliga relegation battle. Therefore, the Gladbachers are now driving a major upheaval, which apparently also affects three top performers.
“Everyone knows that the last few years have been difficult. Be it Corona or certain transfer windows that did not go as desired – when buying or selling. The financial options are not the same as before,” said Gladbach’s new coach Gerardo Seoane at his presentation.
But the Niederrhein club will apparently not have to go through the next transfer period without any money. According to “Bild”, Borussia wants to earn well over 60 million euros with the sale of several top performers, some of which can be invested in new players. Jordan Beyer, who was signed by FC Burnley for 15 million euros after his loan, made the start.
Neuhaus, Elvedi and Koné can leave Gladbach
Three other Gladbach stars could follow, all of whom could bring in millions in transfer fees. In addition to Manu Koné, who has been associated with various top clubs in recent months, Florian Neuhaus and Nico Elvedi are said to have been identified internally as possible sales candidates.
The reason: The working papers expire in 2024. “We would like them to clearly and consistently commit to Borussia and our path this summer. If that doesn’t happen, we have to find a solution with a view to the contract situation,” said Fohlen sports director Roland Virkus recently to “Bild”. .
While Koné is speculating on a transfer fee of between 30 and 40 million euros, Elvedi and Neuhaus in Mönchengladbach are willing to discuss offers of over ten million euros. Means: If all three regular players leave the club, Gladbach beckons an additional budget of 60 million euros, which could help to appear on the European stage again soon.
