Borussia Mönchengladbach: The situation is becoming clearer!
Borussia Mönchengladbach Eye Zeno van den Bosch as Ko Itakura's Replacement
Borussia Mönchengladbach has identified Zeno van den Bosch from Royal Antwerp as a potential replacement for Ko Itakura, who departed for Ajax Amsterdam this summer.
Itakura's exit has created an opportunity for the German club to bring in a new defender, with the transfer window still open until September 1st. The 22-year-old van den Bosch, a centre-back, has been on Gladbach's radar as a candidate to fill the vacancy left by Itakura.
Before Itakura's move to Ajax, there were reported interests from other clubs, including Eintracht Frankfurt and PSV Eindhoven. However, Itakura ultimately signed a €10.5 million deal with Ajax, including potential bonuses.
As for van den Bosch, Royal Antwerp might be willing to sell him given he is entering the final year of his contract. This could potentially benefit Borussia Mönchengladbach in negotiations, although the transfer fee has yet to be agreed upon between the two clubs.
Recently, Benfica Lisbon has shown interest in van den Bosch, increasing the competition for his signature. Known for signing young players and developing them into top stars, Benfica could pose a challenge for Borussia Mönchengladbach in their pursuit of the promising defender.
Gladbach aims to prevent a drawn-out affair for the transfer of van den Bosch, with progress already made between the two sides. Ko Itakura has been indispensable for Borussia Mönchengladbach in recent years, and finding a suitable replacement is crucial for the club's success in the upcoming season.
However, no further information is provided about the defender Borussia Mönchengladbach has set its sights on. As the transfer saga unfolds, fans and football enthusiasts alike will eagerly await updates on the potential signing of Zeno van den Bosch.
