Gladbach not planning to sign a replacement for Thuram

By Henrik Petersen

Gladbach don’t want to spend big on a direct replacement for Marcus Thuram, per Bild.

Marcus Thuram is widely expected to leave Borussia Mönchengladbach on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the season.

But despite Thuram’s importance, ‘Die Fohlen’ apparently have no plans of signing a direct replacement for the French forward.

Instead, Alassane Pléa is in line to become the club’s new first-choice No. 9, with the club considering signing a young back-up striker, per Bild.

Thuram has found the net 11 times in 20 Bundesliga matches for Gladbach this season.
