Julian Weigl Transfer from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Al Shabab
Bild reports on Julian Weigl's potential transfer to Al-Shabab. Julian Weigl has been in discussions with Al-Shabab for a potential transfer. After losing his position as vice-captain and his regular spot in the team, interest has come from Saudi Arabian clubs, including Al-Shabab. The transfer discussions are ongoing, and since the Saudi Arabian transfer window remains open beyond the Bundesliga's deadline, a move is still possible. If Weigl decides to stay with Borussia, he can be part of the team again, but if he chooses the move, Borussia would look for reinforcements in midfield.
Julian Weigl has been released by Borussia Mönchengladbach for contract talks. According to the Saudi sports newspaper "Arriyadiyah", he is initially going on loan to Al-Shabab FC in Riyadh. The club from Riyadh is said to have secured a purchase option for the 29-year-old midfielder.
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.
