Gladbach loans out young goalkeeper Tiago Pereira Cardoso to Belgian top-flight club RAAL La Louvière for a year. The 20-year-old goalkeeper will gain match practice in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League.

What happens?

Gladbach had five professionals in the squad for the new season, with Moritz Nicolas, new signing Daniel Batz, Jan Olschowsky, Tiago Pereira Cardoso, and stand-by goalkeeper Tobias Sippel. One is now temporarily away.

Why is this important for Gladbach?

Borussia's sports director Rouven Schröder explains: „Tiago is a fixed part of the Luxembourg national team and has already proven his Bundesliga suitability with us at a young age.“

What comes next?

Moritz Nicolas is the role model for Pereira Cardoso – Borussia's number 1 was loaned out four times before he was able to establish himself in the Bundesliga in Gladbach. | Season | League | Games | | --- | --- | --- | | 2024/25 | Bundesliga | 5 | | 2025/26 | Jupiler Pro League | - | Gladbach currently stands 12th in the Bundesliga, with 38 points from 34 games and a record of 9 wins, 11 draws, and 14 losses.
