The captain leaves the ship. Gladbach's head of sport, Schröder, said that the chances of Rocco Reitz remaining in the Lower Rhine region were very slim. An agreement with RB Leipzig is therefore imminent.

The transfer of Borussia Mönchengladbach captain Rocco Reitz to RB Leipzig is now probably just a formality. "It's very, very unlikely that Rocco will still be with us next season," said Gladbach's sporting director Rouven Schröder on Thursday.

Recently, there had been reports of an agreement in principle between Schröder's former club and Reitz. However, no agreement has yet been reached between the two clubs. "Nothing has been decided yet," said Schröder, but also announced: "It won't take forever. Decisions have to be made."

Around €20 million transfer fee under discussion

The 23-year-old still has a contract with his home club until 2028. Despite an allegedly fixed transfer fee of €25 million, the sum actually agreed is more likely to be around €20 million.

In the important clash with direct rivals in the relegation battle, FC St. Pauli, Reitz is suspended due to his controversial red card in the 4-1 defeat at Bayern Munich.
