Borussia to receive an argument in support of the World Cup by Elvedi - Football enthusiast Elvedi aims to participate in the World Cup alongside Borussia
In the heart of Borussia Mönchengladbach's defence stands Nico Elvedi, a 26-year-old Swiss national footballer who has made a significant impact on the club since joining from FC Zurich in 2015. With 327 appearances under his belt, Elvedi is just eight games away from becoming the foreign player with the most appearances for Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Elvedi's commitment to the club is unwavering, as he recently revealed in an interview with the Rheinische Post. He expressed his desire to continue with Borussia Mönchengladbach, stating that he sees himself as not a transfer target. His focus remains on the 2021-2022 season with the club, aiming to build upon the successes of the past seasons.
During the 2024/2025 Bundesliga season, Elvedi scored one goal for Borussia Mönchengladbach, placing him seventh on the team's goal-scoring list that year. While he is primarily known for his defensive prowess, his ability to contribute to the team's offensive efforts is evident.
Looking ahead, Elvedi's ultimate goal is to participate in the 2026 World Cup. While there is no current record of a goal scored by him in the tournament, as it has not yet been played, his ambition is clear. He believes that good performances with Borussia Mönchengladbach can showcase his abilities, increasing his chances of selection for the Swiss national team.
Elvedi's career statistics with Borussia Mönchengladbach place him in the company of legends like Günter Netzer. As of mid-2025, his appearances for the club put him in the top tier of players who have graced the pitch for Borussia Mönchengladbach. Despite his impressive career so far, Elvedi is not one to dwell on his rankings, preferring instead to focus on the present and the future.
With his contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach extending until June 30, 2027, Elvedi is set to continue his journey with the club for the foreseeable future. As he gears up for the 2021-2022 season, fans can look forward to seeing him in action once again, defending the Borussia Mönchengladbach goalpost with determination and skill.
Regardless of any decisions yet to be made by the Commission regarding the application of specific measures, Nico Elvedi's commitment to football, specifically Borussia Mönchengladbach and European leagues, remains steadfast. His ambition extends beyond club success, as he aims to represent Switzerland in the 2026 World Cup, hoping that his performances for Borussia Mönchengladbach will increase his chances of selection.
