German sources suggest that Eintracht Frankfurt's coach, Dino Toppmöller, does not plan to include Igor Matanović in the squad for the next season. Potential new clubs for Matanović include Bundesliga teams Freiburg and Borussia Mönchengladbach. Matanović is reportedly more inclined towards joining Freiburg, but Borussia Mönchengladbach is also considered a potential destination.

Borussia Mönchengladbach is attempting to disrupt Freiburg's plan by negotiating a loan deal with Igor Matanović. Positive discussions have already taken place. However, Borussia's intention to loan the player is less favorable to Eintracht Frankfurt, who prefer a sale.

The transfer of the 22-year-old striker Igor Matanovic from Eintracht Frankfurt to Borussia Mönchengladbach is reportedly 'no longer an option'. The negotiations have ended due to differing views on the transfer model. Borussia Mönchengladbach wanted to loan the Croatian player, while Eintracht Frankfurt wanted to transfer him permanently. Matanovic is under contract with Eintracht Frankfurt until 2029.

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.
