Mönchengladbach Eyes Moroccan Talent Ryan Bounida

German football club Borussia Mönchengladbach has entered the race to sign young Moroccan international Ryan Bounida, taking a formal step towards acquiring the player this summer. The German club has expressed serious interest in securing Bounida's services, despite his current health status.

Bounida is still recovering from an injury that has prevented him from fully regaining his fitness and participating in Ajax Amsterdam's pre-season preparations. He continues to miss training sessions with the Dutch team and is currently undergoing individual rehabilitation. Coach Michel Sánchez previously indicated that Bounida would need approximately two more weeks before returning to competition, making his comeback dependent on his ongoing recovery.

Despite his time away from the field, Mönchengladbach's pursuit underscores Bounida's standing among potential transfer targets. The player had hoped to use the pre-season to establish himself within Ajax's squad and compete for a starting midfield position. His future remains open as the transfer window progresses, with the official German interest potentially prompting Ajax to consider his departure, especially given his contract with the club extends until 2028.
