English Right-Back Jonjoe Kenny's Future Uncertain as Borussia Mönchengladbach Shows Interest
Berlin - Hertha BSC's English right-back, Jonjoe Kenny, is currently out of contract and seeks a new team, with Borussia Mönchengladbach reportedly keen on securing his services.
Initially, Kenny had planned to return to England, coming close to a move to Sheffield United in the winter. However, that deal fell through, leaving his future uncertain.
Hertha coach Stefan Leitl expressed his wish to retain Kenny at the club, stating, "He's going back to England because it's a familiar situation. Otherwise, we would have had good chances of keeping him." But Kenny, in the mixed zone after the 1:1 draw against Hannover, was non-committal, stating that he was still undecided about his next move.
Reports suggest that Borussia Mönchengladbach could be Kenny's destination, providing the opportunity to play at the highest level, as originally planned after the relegation.
While no transfer has been officially confirmed, Mainz is also monitoring Kenny's situation. If Kenny joins Borussia Mönchengladbach, he would be a potential replacement for Stefan Lainer, who is considering leaving the club.
Hertha BSC would miss Kenny greatly if he were to depart, as he was a top performer, fan favorite, and the club's best assist provider last season, contributing more goals than any other Hertha player.
Jonas Sterner, another player linked with a move to Hertha, has decided to join Hannover 96 instead. Sterner also had a promising season on loan at Dynamo Dresden, contributing eight assists and two goals.
With Kenny's possible departure, Hertha will need to rely on Julian Eitschberger (21) and Deyovaisio Zeefuik (27) in the future.
[Enrichment Data: Borussia Mönchengladbach's interest in signing Kenny could be motivated by the potential departure of Stefan Lainer. Mainz is also monitoring Kenny's situation. Since Kenny's contract with Hertha has expired, no transfer fee would be required for his services if he were to join Borussia Mönchengladbach.]
Jonjoe Kenny's future remains unclear, with Borussia Mönchengladbach emerging as a potential destination for the English right-back. Incidentally, this move could be facilitated by European leagues, providing Kenny an opportunity to play at the highest level.
