Wael Mohya is on FC Bayern’s radar. Gladbach is in talks about his future—sports director Rouven Schröder provides an update on the situation.
Borussia Mönchengladbach is taking a measured approach to planning for the future with Bayern prospect Wael Mohya. Despite the increased interest in the 17-year-old offensive player, sporting director Rouven Schröder sees no reason to rush a decision. Instead, the Gladbach boss is relying on the strong relationship that has developed between the club and its homegrown talent.
“We’re having perfectly normal discussions, and neither side is under any pressure at all! What we have is an incredibly strong relationship built on mutual trust,” Schröder explained to Sky.
Mohya’s current contract runs through the summer of 2028. Borussia would like to keep the youngster with the club for the long term. Schröder made it clear, however, that the talks should not be dictated by short-term developments: “Both sides want to do the best job together and don’t need to make a decision right away.”
On the field, Mohya has already earned a regular spot in Gladbach’s lineup this season. He has appeared in all eleven competitive matches so far, scoring three goals and setting up another. His development recently earned him his first call-up to the German national team by head coach Jürgen Klopp.
Eberl confirms interest—no talks with Bayern so far
The Gladbach talent’s performances have also caught the attention of FC Bayern. Sporting director Max Eberl commented on the interest in the youngster ahead of the Bundesliga match in Mainz: “FC Bayern keeps every young German talent on its radar and takes a close look at them,” he told Sky.
Eberl, however, denied any concrete discussions with the player or Borussia. “We haven’t spoken a word with the young man, his agency, or Gladbach.”
Thus, keeping an eye on the offensive player must be clearly distinguished from the next possible step. According to Eberl’s latest statement, there have been no talks about a transfer so far. Schröder’s comments also show that Gladbach is relying on its existing relationship with Mohya in its own planning.
For the young talent, the athletic prospects are likely to remain the most important factor. In Gladbach, he is already regularly gaining experience at the Bundesliga level. Dietmar Hamann therefore recently advised him to wait a while before making a move to Munich:“I’d stay in Gladbach for another year or two. It would be too soon,” explained the former national team player.
No decision on a new contract has yet been made based on Schröder’s statements. Borussia, however, is signaling calm and continuing the talks. For Mohya, the first experience with the senior national team is now on the horizon.
