Honorat's Gladbach farewell: 20 million euros for the speed dribbler!

The rumor mill about Franck Honorat is churning because the talented winger could leave Borussia Mönchengladbach in the summer of 2025. The player's market value, currently estimated at €12 million, is attracting interest from several clubs, including SC Freiburg, Leeds United, OGC Nice, FC Valencia and Stade Rennes. How OneFootball reported, a transfer fee of around 20 million euros could represent the necessary pain threshold for those responsible in Gladbach.

Honorat moved from Stade Brest to Gladbach in the summer of 2023. The transfer fee was initially 8 million euros, which can increase to up to 10 million euros through additional bonuses. In his first season he scored 11 goals and proved to be one of the few bright spots in a mixed Gladbach team. His statistics speak for themselves: in 51 Bundesliga games he netted 7 times and prepared 20 goals. His pace and effectiveness are highly valued, making him a sought-after player, especially at a time when Gladbach may want to make some changes.

A look back

The negotiations for Honorat had already dragged on for over a year and resulted in a move that is important for both him and the club. During his time at Stade Brest, he experienced the most successful season since the club was founded, also thanks to his impressive performances. Transfer market highlights that Brest received a 15 percent resale share of the resale fee, which shows how much the club relied on him and was interested in his development.

Honorat's contract runs until 2028, giving Borussia Mönchengladbach a strong negotiating position. Sports director Roland Virkus could seriously consider a sale if an appropriate offer comes. However, there are many indications that without Honorat leaving, other transfer activities are likely to remain quiet.

The possibilities for Gladbach

The prospect of receiving 20 million euros for a player who has taken on an important role in the team in just a few years could represent good business for Gladbach. Especially when you consider that the team has been challenged not only athletically but also financially in recent years. It will be exciting to see how those responsible for Virkus react to the upcoming offers.

The Bundesliga remains in flux, and player changes such as the potential departure of Honorat are always a sign of new, exciting developments within the teams.
