Borussia Mönchengladbach is expressing significant interest in Igor Matanovic, whom they regard as a physically robust striker akin to Tim Kleindienst. The club is contemplating securing Matanovic on a loan deal. The 22-year-old forward is currently part of Eintracht Frankfurt, but Gladbach perceives a chance to acquire him on loan, especially since SC Freiburg is also interested but reluctant to meet Frankfurt's valuation of eight to ten million euros. Matanovic, who is 1.94 meters tall, had limited playing time last season with only 300 minutes in the Bundesliga. However, his prior performance during a loan spell at Karlsruhe, where he contributed to 21 goals in 32 matches, enhances his appeal as a prospect. Eintracht Frankfurt is willing to consider his departure if an appropriate offer is presented, potentially giving Borussia Mönchengladbach an edge in the negotiations.
