Saudi Clubs Show Interest in Discontent Borussia monchengladbach Striker
Saudi Pro League clubs are reportedly eyeing a move for a Borussia Mönchengladbach striker who has fallen out of favor at the Bundesliga side.
Multiple German sources, including RTL/ntv and Sport1, report that at least one unnamed Saudi Arabian club is interested in signing the Czech forward, who has struggled to make an impact in Germany. The transfer could allow Mönchengladbach to recoup some of the €10.5 million they spent to sign him as a replacement for Marcus Thuram.
With just six goals in 49 Bundesliga appearances over the past two seasons, his market value has plummeted from €12 million to €4 million. Despite a possible early-season absence for current first-choice striker Tim Kleindienst, the club is reportedly keen to move on from the out-of-favor player, whom they now view as a squad outcast.
Although interest from Saudi Arabia is concrete, the striker still believes he belongs in one of Europe’s top five leagues—namely the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, or the Bundesliga. However, no serious offers have emerged from clubs in those competitions so far.
A transfer to Saudi Arabia could offer a fresh start for the forward while helping Borussia Mönchengladbach cut their losses and free up space in their attacking lineup.
