Borussia Mönchengladbach signs Japan captain Zento Uno despite ankle injury. The 22-year-old was taken off the pitch with an ankle injury on Sunday. According to Sky and the Rheinische Post, the transfer is not in danger. Initial examinations of Zento Uno brought relief to Borussia Mönchengladbach. Sky estimates the recovery time of the Shimizu-S-Pulse captain to be around a month. The originally scheduled medical check-up for mid-June will be rescheduled to a later date. Uno, who is used as a six in the J1 League and occasionally as a center-back, prefers a move to the Lower Rhine, although clubs from Belgium and the Netherlands have also signaled interest. The Japanese portal Sponichi estimates the transfer fee to be around 100 million yen, equivalent to around 500,000 euros. A four-year contract until 2030 is to be offered to him by the Bundesliga club. The 22-year-old is planned as a successor to Rocco Reitz, who will leave Gladbach in the summer. In addition, Yukhym Konoplya from Shakhtar Donetsk is already scheduled to join the Borussia Park on a free transfer. The Uno transfer alone will not complete the rebuild in the Gladbach midfield. In addition to Reitz, loan player Yannik Engelhardt is also leaving the club, so the Fohlenelf is looking for a second midfielder. Enzo Leopold is being considered as a candidate. The captain of Hannover 96 is free to leave in the summer and is considered a serious option for Borussia.
