Borussia Mönchengladbach has told US defender Joe Scally to find a new club. The 23-year-old is entering the final year of his contract, which runs until 2027, and was omitted from the squad for the season’s first official game, a 5-0 DFB-Pokal win over Schott Mainz on Sunday, August 23, 2026. Sporting director Rouven Schröder said both Scally and midfielder Florian Neuhaus would likely be dissatisfied with their current situation and need to consider their futures. Scally has made 167 appearances over five seasons at the club after joining from New York City FC in 2021. In May 2024, he admitted being open to a new challenge, and has since been linked with moves to Marseille in Ligue 1 and Premier League sides Bournemouth and Fulham. For the USMNT, Scally has earned 26 caps, featuring twice at the 2026 World Cup hosted in the United States, though he did not play in 2022. Neuhaus, whose contract also expires in 2027, was similarly absent from the cup match against Schott Mainz. Gladbach currently sit 14th in the Bundesliga table from the 2024/25 season with 30 points from 29 games (7 wins, 9 draws, 13 losses), showing recent form LDDWL. The team has scored 35 goals and conceded 49 this season, leaving them 46 points behind leaders Bayern München. Their next fixture is a home game against SV Elversberg on September 5, 2026, which supporters can track via our fixtures page. Scally’s exclusion raises questions about his role moving forward, especially given the club’s ongoing squad evaluation, details of which are available on our squad page. His time at Borussia Mönchengladbach appears to be nearing its end, with contractual timing and sporting direction aligning toward a potential departure. The coming weeks will determine whether interest from clubs abroad develops into a concrete move, with the club signaling that a change could benefit all parties as Scally seeks a new challenge in his career.
