Borussia Mönchengladbach have announced the signing of David Herold from Karlsruher SC on a contract until 2030. According to reports, Rouven Schröder reduced the release clause for David Herold, which was originally set at €3.5 million. David Herold considers the move to Borussia Mönchengladbach as his first step into the Bundesliga and is excited about joining the club.

BILD had reported weeks earlier that Gladbach had a strong interest in signing left-back David Herold from Karlsruher SC. Borussia has now reached an agreement with Karlsruhe for the transfer. Herold's contract with Karlsruhe runs until 2027 and he reportedly has a release clause equivalent to his current market value on transfermarkt.de, which is said to be 3.5 million euros. It is possible that Borussia will not pay the full amount and that, instead, loan striker Shio Fukuda could move permanently to Karlsruhe. Gladbach's sporting director Rouven Schröder confirmed on Thursday that the transfer is nearly complete, stating that it is progressing but that nothing has been signed yet and a medical test is still required.

David Herold will join Borussia Mönchengladbach from Karlsruher SC. According to 'Sky', all parties have agreed on the transfer. David Herold will sign a contract valid until 2030. Borussia Mönchengladbach had already reached an agreement with Herold several weeks ago, after which negotiations took place to try to reduce the 3.5 million euro release clause. Herold's contract with Karlsruher SC is for one more year.

Borussia Mönchengladbach and Karlsruher SC are now in direct negotiations over David Herold. The release clause is €3.5m, but Borussia Mönchengladbach want to negotiate a lower fee. According to Sky Sport DE, a verbal agreement between Borussia Mönchengladbach and the player is complete.
