Mönchengladbach waives Matanovic: who is now being targeted?
The transfer rumors surrounding Borussia Mönchengladbach and the Bundesliga are currently running rampant. The focus is on Eintracht Frankfurt striker Igor Matanovic. But despite numerous interested parties, including Werder Bremen and SC Freiburg, Gladbach is unable to raise the required ten million euro transfer fee. This information has Tipico compiled. The Gladbachers' financial situation is tense, which makes the search for new signings much more difficult.
Eintracht Frankfurt is asking potential buyers around ten million euros for the talented 22-year-old. According to Kicker, Eintracht's sports director, Markus Krösche, has confirmed that a loan without an obligation to buy is out of the question. Those responsible in Gladbach have also taken note of this and are now concentrating on other strikers. They seem to have considered alternative options with Georgios Koutsias (FC Lugano), Fotis Ioannidis (Panathinaikos Athens) and Andi Zeqiri (KRC Genk).
Matanovic's future uncertain
Igor Matanovic himself was able to shine at Karlsruher SC in the last second division season, but only played sporadically at Eintracht Frankfurt last season and only scored two goals in 25 appearances. A foot problem and limited playing time contributed to his improving record. The striker also expressed his dissatisfaction with the past season and his desire to contribute more to the team's success on Instagram. This will become apparent in the coming negotiations, which could be crucial for his sporting development, they report AZ.
In Gladbach, those responsible around sports director Roland Virkus are required to make the right decisions. If no sales proceeds are generated, they have little scope for further transfers. In addition to the new signings Kevin Diks (free transfer) and Jens Castrop (4.5 million euros), Matanovic could also remain in view as a reinforcement in attack - if the financial situation changes.
Financial situation in the Bundesliga
The transfer record in the Bundesliga shows an exciting picture. A total of 326 additions and 311 departures were recorded. Transfer expenses amount to around 790 million euros, while revenues of around 701 million euros were generated. This results in a negative overall balance of around 90 million euros. Such figures make it clear that the financial resources available to each club vary greatly. The total market value of the additions is 107.8 million euros, while the disposals have a total market value of 100.6 million euros. This pressure could also force Gladbach to find innovative solutions to keep their squad competitive in the long term Transfer market summarizes.
