Top of the list, but…: That’s really the case with the Rieder transfer to Gladbach

Blick already announced in April that Juwel Fabian Rieder (21) will leave YB. Since then there has been only one other question related to the boy from Koppigen BE: Where is he going? What is certain: it will be the Bundesliga. And neither Bayern nor Dortmund, because that would be a wrong, too big step. And neither does RB Leipzig, because the philosophies don’t match.

YB wants about 13 million

The other clubs are therefore left behind: Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Leverkusen or Wolfsburg. And because Gerry Seoane, the man who made Rieder’s rise to power, is now head coach at Gladbach, the colts are in pole position and there is even speculation that the transfer is about to be finalized.

“Not true,” says Rieder adviser Fabian von Matt. “Gladbach is one of the interested parties, that’s right. We are in contact with the club, that’s right. But not only with Gladbach. And the way must first be cleared financially for an immigration of this magnitude. In other words: Gladbach must sell first.” In the foreground are the names of Florian Neuhaus and Manu Koné. Or maybe Nico Elvedi. Because YB already wants about 13 million francs for his crown jewel. “But”, and this statement by Von Matt makes things even more explosive: “Fabian is top of the list at Gladbach.”

“There is a lot of interest in Fabian”

YB sports director Steve von Bergen says of Rieder’s transfer: “Nothing has been done. Moreover, his season is not over yet. Not much has changed in the international transfer market. There is a lot of interest in Fabian, yes. But that’s all there is.”

Jashari excludes immigration from Bergen

And the replacement? At most Ardon Jashari (20)? “No,” says Von Bergen in no uncertain terms. “Because we have three sixes with Cheikh Niasse, Sandro Lauper and Miguel Chaiwa.” The sports director YB does not see the FCL captain in the Rieder position. «With the arrival of Lukasz Lakomy, we have already become active in this position. He probably played a bit more defensively this season with Zaglebie Lubin, as six. But before that he always played eighth or even higher.”

There will probably be a replacement for Rieder

After the departure of Vincent Sierro (27) to Toulouse in the winter, Rieder played in this position. The bottom line is that Lakomy (22) replaces Sierro, whose position Rieder played. So the Rieder replacement isn’t here yet…? “Maybe we’ll do something else,” von Bergen concludes. But that is not mandatory. As long as the transfer window is open, almost nothing can be completely ruled out.
