Gladbach's Nico Elvedi in focus: Move to Leeds possible
Borussia Mönchengladbach defender Nico Elvedi is reportedly close to a move to Leeds United, according to sources from both clubs. The Swiss international, who has made 318 Bundesliga appearances, could leave the club. This comes in a week where the future of Sebastiaan Bornauw has become uncertain. At 29 years old and standing 6ft 2in tall, Elvedi is an experienced presence in Gladbach's defense.
What does this mean for Gladbach?
Elvedi's departure would leave a gap in Gladbach's defensive line. The 29-year-old has been a key figure in the defense for years. With 42 goals scored and 53 conceded last season (12th place, 38 points), the loss of the veteran could further weaken the defense. The team's recent form shows 3 wins in the last 5 games (WWWLL), including a 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim on May 16, 2026.
How are the fans reacting?
Gladbach fans are divided. Some see Elvedi's move as an opportunity for young talents, while others fear a setback. Discussions on social media are heated. Possible replacements are already being speculated.
What comes next?
Negotiations between Leeds and Gladbach are ongoing. If the transfer goes through, Gladbach will need to quickly find a replacement. The transfer window is still open, and the club is looking for suitable candidates.
