Borussia Mönchengladbach is on the verge of parting ways with Nathan Ngoumou. The 26-year-old winger, signed for €8 million from Toulouse in 2022, has struggled with injuries and could now join RSC Anderlecht. Gladbach currently sits 12th in the Bundesliga with 38 points from 34 games (9 wins, 11 draws, 14 losses).
Why is Ngoumou leaving Gladbach?
Ngoumou arrived with high expectations but injuries, including an Achilles tendon rupture in April 2024, derailed his progress. With a salary of nearly €3 million per year, he is among the top earners, making an early exit appealing. According to Bild, several clubs from Poland and France are interested, but Anderlecht is the frontrunner.
What does this mean for Gladbach?
Losing Ngoumou would ease the wage bill. With 42 goals scored and 53 conceded (-11 goal difference) this season, Gladbach is fighting for stability. Trailing Bayern Munich by 51 points highlights the challenge. Ngoumou’s departure could free up funds for new signings.
What’s next?
If the transfer goes through, it would be a clear win for both sides. Ngoumou could regain regular playing time in Belgium, while Gladbach would benefit financially. The club must now decide whether to waive a transfer fee or negotiate further.
