Borussia Mönchengladbach’s January Transfer Activity and Current Standings

Borussia Mönchengladbach has been proactive in the January transfer window, adding three new players to their roster: Hugo Bolin, Ko Takai, and Alejo Sarco. Additionally, the club explored the possibility of reacquiring a former player, Ko Itakura.

According to reports from Kicker, Borussia Mönchengladbach aimed to strengthen their squad with a player possessing greater experience and considered bringing back Itakura, who transferred to Ajax for €10.5 million in August 2025. The Japan international has made a significant impact in the Eredivisie, starting 13 of 14 matches in the current season, indicating that any potential move for the central defender would likely require a considerable financial investment.

Currently, Borussia Mönchengladbach sits three points above Mainz, who are in the promotion/relegation play-off position. The team is experiencing a challenging period, having gone without a win in their last four Bundesliga matches. They will host Bayer Leverkusen this weekend as Eugen Polanski’s side strives to secure their place in the top tier for the 2026/27 season.
