One of the biggest topics of the last week was Jürgen Klopp’s nomination of Wael Mohya to the German national team at just 17 years old, catching just about everyone in Germany off guard. Riding that high wave of attention, Mohya is becoming a major topic for a statement signing for Europe’s top clubs.
According to reports from Sport Bild, Borussia Mönchengladbach are determined to fend off interest from Bayern and other top clubs and extend Wael Mohya’s contract, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. The German
national team newcomer’s current contract, which runs until 2028, does not contain a release clause, even in the event of relegation.
Mohya’s camp are reportedly likely to push for a release clause if he were to extend, which would be on the lower end in case the club is relegated and on the higher end if Gladbach stay in the top flight. As it stands, Gladbach sit in dead last in the league. Gladbach’s goal is to get a club-record fee for Mohya once they decide to sell him, which would have to surpass their sale of Granit Xhaka—which was 45 million euros to Arsenal.
50 million euros doesn’t sound like an awful deal for a bright German talent, especially considering the fees being bounced around the Premier League, but at the current moment, Mohya still has a lot to prove this season before clubs are going to line up with that kind of money. For now, there is high risk but high reward.
