Borussia Monchengladbach and Germany centre-back Matthias Ginter is set to leave the club at the end of the season as a free agent. He has officially revealed that he will not extend his contract, which is set to expire in June 2022.
The player will be allowed to talk to foreign clubs in a few days’ time when the January transfer window opens. However, he has stated that he intends to finish the season with the German club before making a decision about his future.
What has Matthias Ginter said about his future?
“After long deliberations, I have decided not to renew my expiring contract,” Matthias Ginter wrote on his Instagram account, “After five fantastic years at Borussia Mönchengladbach, it is difficult for me to take this step, but I’ve decided upon a different path for my personal and professional development.”
“I owe a lot to the fans of Borussia and shall always carry this club in my heart,” Ginter continued, “Now I will go with a full head of steam into the second half of the season. Those who know me know that I will give everything to accomplish the goals still possible in this season together with everyone else.”
Inter Milan are interested in signing the centre-back. He has the same agent as Hakan Calhanoglu, who joined from their city rivals AC Milan this summer. There are two other European clubs interested in signing the German centre-back, and the transfer situation will become clearer towards the end of the season.
