Elvedi replacement? Gladbach has Japan star in view

Nico Elvedi recently hinted at being able to imagine staying with Borussia Mönchengladbach. His contract, which expires in 2022, has still not been renewed. The Borussian planning department is looking for alternatives. Takehiro Tomiyasu is said to be a topic on the left Lower Rhine.

He feels super comfortable with Borussia Mönchengladbach, Nico Elvedi recently said at “Fohlen-Hautnah”. It may well be that the Swiss defensive star has found a kind of oasis of well-being in the Champions League eighth finalists. In the same breath, however, he added: “What exactly I’m going to do, I don’t know yet.”

Such a vocabulary naturally leaves room for speculation. Some clubs in the Premier League are said to have been advancing Elvedi for some time. In view of the contract expiring in 2022, the following applies in the industry for this summer: extend or sell. If sold, Takehiro Tomiyasu could follow in Elvedi’s footsteps.

According to a report by the portal “calciomercato.com”, Gladbacher Borussia is quite fond of the Japanese defensive specialist. Competition threatens with Bayer Leverkusen from the immediate table neighborhood. Both clubs “like” Tomiyasu, according to the report.
