Borussia Mönchengladbach eyes squad overhaul, may lose Scally and Reyna

Borussia Mönchengladbach is confronting a costly wage bill and an oversized squad ahead of the new Bundesliga season. Reports indicate that high‑earners such as Florian Neuhaus (≈ €4 m per year), Tomas Cvancara, Giovanni Reyna and Joe Scally each command salaries between €1.5 m and €2 m annually, making their potential departures financially challenging. Neuhaus has reportedly extended his contract to 2027, while Cvancara is still recovering from an adductor operation.

Sport director Rouven Schröder also highlighted the club’s lack of experience among recent signings from the 2. Bundesliga and abroad, including Enzo Leopold, Isac Lidberg, David Herold, Jan Leszczynski, Yukhym Konoplya and Zento Uno. New goalkeeper Daniel Batz, aged 35, is expected to serve as backup but could become more important. Manager Eugen Polanski, appointed in November, faces pressure to integrate these newcomers while maintaining performance.

In the transfer window, the United States internationals Joe Scally and Giovanni Reyna have been linked with moves away from Gladbach. Scally is reportedly dissatisfied and interested in the Premier League, while Reyna’s contract runs until 2028, giving the club leverage. Both players’ limited impact at the World Cup has not improved their standing, and any sale would need to meet the club’s valuation expectations.
