Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach has had good experiences with the sons of football legends since Marcus Thuram at the latest. Now the offspring of another former world star is traded in the foals.
Because Marcus Thuram’s departure on a free transfer after the end of the season seems to have been decided, Borussia Mönchengladbach is working hard to find a successor. An option for the offensive is apparently Ianis Hagi.
According to a report by the Romanian online portal “ProSport”, the 24-year-old son of the former world star Gheorghe Hagi is traded with the foals.
Gladbach have expressed interest in the versatile offensive man of the Glasgow Rangers through “middlemen”, it is said. Scouts from the Lower Rhine club should therefore monitor Hagi more closely in the coming weeks.
Does Gladbach strike at Legendensohn? BVB was also there
Hagi has been under contract with Rangers since 2020. From spring 2020 he initially played on loan for the 2022 Europa League finalists. In the summer of 2020 Hagi moved permanently from KRC Genk to Glasgow for 3.5 million euros. BVB is also said to have been interested in the Romanian hopefuls at the time.
Hagi’s working paper runs until June 2026. Last year, a knee injury he suffered in January threw him back a long time. Hagi only celebrated his league comeback in the Rangers jersey at the end of January.
According to “ProSport” information, the long injury break last year also prevented Hagis from moving to Aston Villa. There is said to have been a verbal agreement with the Premier League club from Birmingham.
With Marcus Thuram, the son of the French world champion Lilian Thuram, Hagi not only shares the constant father-son comparisons. Both players are also offensively oriented. However, Hagi would not be a one-to-one assignment for Thuram. While Thuram prefers to hunt for goals as a striker, Hagi is also used in attacking midfield or as a right winger.
