Borussia Mönchengladrock squad overhaul

In mid‑July, Borussia Mönchengladbach was reported to be grappling with a high wage bill and an inflated squad, prompting speculation that high‑earners such as U.S. internationals Joe Scally and Giovanni Reyna might be sold. The club’s sport director highlighted a lack of experience among recent signings and pressure on manager Eugen Polanski to integrate newcomers.

By the end of July, transfer talks had progressed for Reyna. The midfielder was said to be in advanced discussions with Ligue 1 side Strasbourg, a move that would follow his limited playing time in Germany despite appearances at the 2026 World Cup. No definitive outcome was confirmed, but the report indicated a concrete step toward his departure.

Overall, the two snapshots track the club’s financial and squad‑management concerns and the narrowing focus on Reyna’s potential exit.
