Bayern faces competition from the Bundesliga in the race to sign Wael Mohya. One particular club appears to be showing the most concrete interest—while Gladbach is aiming to extend his contract.
FC Bayern is by no means the only Bundesliga club interested in Wael Mohya. According to Sky, Bayer Leverkusen is currently showing the most concrete interest among German clubs in the Gladbach attacking talent. This could make it even more difficult for Munich to sign him.
According to the report, Bayern continues to monitor the 17-year-old and sees him playing in the number 10 position. At the same time, club officials are aware that a transfer would not be a simple undertaking. In addition to competition from Leverkusen, Borussia Mönchengladbach is also working to secure the long-term future of its homegrown talent in the Lower Rhine region.
Gladbach wants to keep Mohya on the team for the long term
Mohya’s contract with Borussia runs through the summer of 2028. Gladbach is doing everything it can to extend it early. Sporting director Rouven Schröder recently emphasized that the talks are based on a close relationship of trust and that no short-term decision needs to be forced.
This gives Gladbach a strong starting position: Mohya is already under contract for the long term and receives regular playing time with the club. Schröder had spoken calmly about the young talent’s future.
On the field, Mohya has turned heads this season. He appeared in each of the first eleven competitive matches, scoring three goals and recording one assist. His development also earned him his first call-up to the German national team by head coach Jürgen Klopp.
Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, had also publicly commented on his observation of the youngster. However, he denied having had any direct contact with the player, his agency, or Gladbach prior to the Bundesliga match in Mainz. The reported continued interest must therefore still be distinguished from concrete negotiations.
In the event of a potential transfer, however, the young attacking player would need to be offered a compelling opportunity. In Munich, Jamal Musiala and Lennart Karl are already available to fill this key role.
For now, Mohya’s future remains uncertain. Bayern continues to monitor his development, Leverkusen has shown concrete interest—and Gladbach hopes to ensure, through a contract extension, that its young talent takes the next step within the club itself.
