Gladbach's transfer season is underway with CEO Rouven Schröder planning sales of key players to optimize the squad. The next change at the Niederrhein is already underway this summer. Schröder has already presented seven new signings. In the coming weeks, Schröder hopes to focus on sales. There are enough strikers in the current Fohlen-Kader with 28 professionals. The names are known. Top earner Florian Neuhaus and striker flop Tomas Cvancara are at the top. Nathan Ngoumou can also leave. If good offers come in, Gladbach would also let go of the US duo Joe Scally and Gio Reyna. According to Bild, Reyna should be ready for sale at an estimated value of four million euros after a disappointing debut season. ## No Replacement for Reserve Players All sale candidates have one thing in common: They were not regulars last season. And since the squad will be reduced to 25 professionals, Schröder has made a clear decision. If Neuhaus and Co. leave, no replacement will be signed. Scally could also leave, as the club has already signed a replacement for Yukhym Konoplya. The Ukrainian is currently sidelined, but the team could cover the gap with the available players. ## Schröder's Statement on Regular Players The situation is different if a regular player leaves. Here is Schröder's clear statement: "If a regular player leaves, we will replace him with another regular player." The focus was on these players last season. Stammkeeper Moritz Nicolas and Abwehrchef Nico Elvedi were in the spotlight. Since Nicolas' exit clause has expired and a lucrative offer is not currently on the table – which is unlikely – Nicolas is likely to stay for another year. Elvedi's contract expires in 2027, and the Gladbacher do not want to release him without a release clause. The strong performance with Switzerland in the World Cup will likely generate interest in the 28-year-old defender.
