Borussia Mönchengladbach: planned contract extension with Ullrich!

Borussia Mönchengladbach: planned contract extension with Ullrich!

On March 2, 2025, the signs for Borussia Mönchengladbach are in the Bundesliga. The club could lose several key players, including Ko ItaKura and Nico Elvedi. Sports director Roland Virkus proudly expressed himself about the growing interest in Gladbach players before the disappointing 0: 3 defeat against FC Augsburg, which reflects the positive development of the team. In the past, the club had difficulty selling valuable players, the example of Manu Koné, who only switched to AS Rome shortly before the end of the summer transfer period, clearly illustrates this.

The sporting problems of recent years have made it difficult for players to play in the spotlight. However, the stability on the field and the progress of several players this season have now led to an increase in interest to players in the association. In particular, Lukas Ullrich, a 20-year-old left-back, has come into focus and has apparently also received offers from clubs such as VfL Wolfsburg. Ullrich commented on the hype about himself and described him as "crazy".

Ullrich remains calm

Although Ullrich is aware of attention, he emphasizes that a farewell is currently not an issue for him. He wants to be successful with Borussia and develop in the Bundesliga. Gladbach currently has to carefully consider offers for players, as Virkus explained in a possible transfer from Tim Kleindienst. Ullrich, who is bound to the club by 2027, is well supported by his family and his consultant and does not urge a quick career jump.

Coping with the past regarding the squad combination is also important for Gladbach. Trainer Gerardo Seoane has changed the squad management, which means that only one full-back, Stefan Lainer, can now be found on the replacement bench. Joe Scally and Luca Netz take over the full-back positions, while Ullrich will play the U23 of Gladbach next Saturday in the regional league-West game against Schalke.

positive development in training

Ullrich's performance in training and in test games bring him positive feedback, both by the coaching team and from his teammates. His commitment in a friendly against VV Venlo was particularly gratifying, in which he prepared a header. Despite his promising skills, Ullrich has not yet conquered his own starting place in the Bundesliga, and the exact time of his comeback in the upper house remains uncertain. But his patience and determination to develop further are exemplary.

Borussia Mönchengladbach plans to discuss further talks regarding an early contract extension with Ullrich in the coming weeks. These conversations could be decisive for the future of the talented left -back, which is currently in a team of upheaval for the team, which is characterized by the trust of the association and the support of his family.
