Gladbach faces the potential departure of two key players. Joe Scally and Nico Elvedi trained on Tuesday with just four other professionals-a sign of ongoing transfer speculation. The club could lose two important players before the transfer window closes. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 12th in Bundesliga, 38 pts, 9W-11D-14L from 34 games, recent form WLWDD.
What does this mean for Gladbach's squad planning?
With only six players at training, including Scally and Elvedi, the signs point to an imminent transfer. Elvedi's contract runs until 2027, but a summer departure would be a major blow. The vice-captain is a defensive pillar-his absence would leave a significant gap.
Why is Scally in the spotlight?
Since his 2021 debut, Scally has played 167 games for Gladbach, but his offensive development has stalled. With just four goals and nine assists in his career, he has disappointed fans. The American wants a move to the Premier League, but no concrete offers have materialized. Without a transfer, he stays, but his starting spot is at risk.
Who could fill the gaps?
Sporting director Rouven Schröder has already signed Daiki Hashioka and the injured Yukhym Konoplia as alternatives. If Scally leaves, the era of a once-promising talent would end abruptly. Currently sidelined: Fabio Chiarodia, Jens Castrop, Yukhym Konoplya.
