Borussia Mönchengladbach make their move for Nnamdi Collins

$21.3M on the table at Eintracht Frankfurt. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Cyriaque Irié due for a Borussia Mönchengladbach medical

Everything agreed with SC Freiburg, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Market17 Aug 2026

Tim Kleindienst moves on

Bayern Munich pay $24.6M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Too dear: Borussia Mönchengladbach walk away from Eric Smith

$7.8M was the most the club would pay and St. Pauli were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Supporters turn on the $24.6M sale of Tim Kleindienst

He is going to Bayern Munich, the club has $24.6M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market17 Aug 2026

New York City come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Borussia Mönchengladbach did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

A falling-out at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Franck Honorat and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Borussia Mönchengladbach lose Michael Sauer

41 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Jens Castrop

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Borussia Mönchengladbach make their move for Lennart Karl

$8.2M on the table at Bayern Munich. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

An offer of $7.8M for Eric Smith

Borussia Mönchengladbach have gone to St. Pauli with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Borussia Mönchengladbach plan ahead with Frans Krätzig from Red Bull Salzburg

The most awkward business a club does is signing tomorrow's answer while today's is still in the building. Frans Krätzig comes from Red Bull Salzburg for exactly that purpose, and the handover will not be discussed publicly by anybody.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Franck Honorat stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Franck Honorat and Borussia Mönchengladbach agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Franck Honorat was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Franck Honorat

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Franck Honorat, and the manager let it.

Maximilian Fuchs steps up from the Borussia Mönchengladbach academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Maximilian Fuchs has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Michael Sauer joins the Borussia Mönchengladbach first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Michael Sauer is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Borussia Mönchengladbach promote Ralf Lang from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ralf Lang has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
