Gladbach: Virkus about winter departures from key players

The contracts of Marcus Thuram and Ramy Bensebaini at Borussia Mönchengladbach expire in the summer of 2023. It currently does not look like the two players will be extended. It is not clear whether there will be a departure in winter. Sports director Roland Virkus now commented on this situation.

Numerous contracts will expire at Borussia Mönchengladbach at the end of the current season. Among other things, goalkeeper Yann Somme and the veterans Lars Stindl and Christoph Kramer are allowed to negotiate with another club from January 1st. The same goes for attacker Marcus Thuram and left-back Ramy Bensebaini.

With the latter two, however, the foals could try to generate a small fee and transfer both players in winter. According to sports director Roland Virkus, however, this is unlikely. “It’s utopian to believe that you can still get a lot for a player who only has half a year left on his contract. You have to weigh up what a player can give you in half a year against what he can give you brings you financially,” said the 55-year-old German press agency.

A contract extension on the Lower Rhine also seems very unlikely at the moment, even if both players have been tried very hard so far. “We only have limited influence there. There are certain financial limits in this club. In addition, I can’t guarantee any player here to play internationally every year,” said Virkus.

Thuram, who became a French international at Borussia, is currently the most accurate player in the Foals with ten goals in twelve games. Bensebaini, who has netted five times so far, follows directly in second place.
