Ten Clubs Monitor Gladbach Talent

Barcelona and Real Madrid are reportedly battling for Borussia Monchengladbach’s 17-year-old attacking midfielder Wael Mohya. Spanish outlet Fichajes claims Liverpool are also interested, along with seven other European clubs. The Germany youth international has a €35 million release clause in his Bundesliga contract.

Who Is Wael Mohya?

Born in Mettmann, Mohya began at SV Straelen before joining Gladbach in 2016. He broke into the first team last season, making 28 appearances and registering five goals and two assists.

This campaign has brought further progress, with three goals and an assist in 11 games. That form has earned him a first senior call-up under Jurgen Klopp.

Why Each Club Wants Him

Barcelona could need midfield reinforcements next year, with Frenkie de Jong’s future uncertain and Dani Olmo attracting admirers. Mohya’s passing and productivity make him a natural fit.

Real Madrid want an attacking midfielder to challenge Jude Bellingham. Mohya can also operate wide on the right, an area where Madrid are short on options.

Liverpool are reportedly seeking cover for Florian Wirtz, who has been inconsistent since joining from Bayer Leverkusen, and who is also a Bayern Munich target.

Gladbach Contract Talks Could Complicate Race

Gladbach are said to be working on a new deal, which could make life harder for suitors.

Our Take

Mohya looks a genuinely exciting prospect, but with ten clubs circling, a new contract and a likely higher release clause could price out some of the chasing pack. Liverpool may offer the clearest pathway to regular minutes.
