Borussia Mönchengladbach is expected to loan 19-year-old Jakob Zickler from Dynamo Dresden for half a year in an imminent move. The offensive player is expected to gain match practice with Borussia Mönchengladbach's reserve team in the Regionalliga West, rather than with the Bundesliga professionals. Zickler, who has a contract with Dynamo Dresden until 2028, had his opportunities at the second-division club limited by a shoulder injury in the first half of the season. The loan is intended to aid his development, as Dynamo's own reserve team plays at a level considered too low for his progression.
