Tomas Cvancara, the Borussia Mönchengladbach striker, isn't finding his groove at the club and has openly criticized the club's management. In an Instagram post, the 24-year-old voiced his frustration, "Given zilch, just received promises never kept."
Cvancara joined Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2023 for around €10.5 million but has struggled to secure a starting spot. He has been mostly deployed on the wings, rather than his preferred center-forward position. Despite this, he has made 26 appearances this season, scoring two goals—mostly as a substitute.
The reason behind his discontentment is simple: promises unkept and a role that's not quite right. Cvancara requested a loan last winter to regain form after an injury, but his plea was denied. Despite this, he remains adamant about leaving Borussia Mönchengladbach this summer and has a contract that ties him to the club until 2028.
A Strained Team Atmosphere
According to a report from Sport Bild, Cvancara's teammates have voiced concerns about his attitude, asking head coach Gerardo Seoane not to play him before the 3:4 defeat against Holstein Kiel in the penultimate matchday. However, Cvancara firmly denies this accusation, stating, "I always gave 100% on the pitch and did my best for the team in the current moment, even if I was not convinced by my role."
The unrest within the team isn't confined to just Cvancara. The squad's morale took a hit after a disappointing 4-4 draw against Hoffenheim, leading to a "team council" seeking to blacklist Cvancara. Despite this, Seoane continues to give Cvancara playing time to an extent, partly because of injuries to other key players like Franck Honorat.
Transfer Talks
Transfer interest in Cvancara has surfaced, with clubs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia showing interest during the winter transfer window. However, Borussia Mönchengladbach opted to keep Cvancara to fill the void left by Honorat's injury. The bids were also below the club's valuation, so whether we'll see Cvancara decked out in another club's colors remains uncertain.
Lately, Borussia Mönchengladbach has experienced a slide, almost missing their chance to return to European competition, having lost five consecutive games.
