German midfielder Julian Weigl, 29, has been released from the Borussia Mönchengladbach squad to engage in talks with another club. Manager Roland Virkus indicated that Weigl had requested permission to discuss opportunities with other clubs. While the specific club he is in talks with has not been disclosed, he has been linked with a move to Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia and Leeds United. Weigl recently lost his regular starting position and was removed from the role of vice-captain. Under coach Gerardo Seoane, Weigl had been a regular starter until recently, consistently included in the starting lineup for 70 consecutive matches. However, during the DFB-Pokal match against Atlas Delmenhorst, he remained on the bench for the entire game. The player's contract with the German club runs until June 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €6.00m.
