Bundesliga debut at BVB: Will he be Schröder’s first Gladbach signing? | OneFootball

"We will keep our eyes open," Rouven Schröder recently announced regarding new signings. The newly appointed Gladbach sporting director was actually referring more to reinforcements for the defense. According to 'Sky', however, Schröder's first transfer in his new job could be in the offensive department.

According to the pay-TV broadcaster, the Foals are interested in Marco Pašalić. The right winger is no stranger to the Bundesliga.

In 2022, the now ten-time Croatian international made his debut in Germany's top league with BVB. However, the big breakthrough did not follow for the now 25-year-old. He was limited to a ten-minute substitute appearance.

Instead, Pašalić made a name for himself back home with HNK Rijeka and moved to MLS with Orlando City SC last February. The team from Florida spent 4.8 million euros for his services—apparently money well spent.

In 33 appearances, the Karlsruhe-born player scored twelve goals and provided five assists. According to 'Sky', this productive mix has now sparked interest on the Lower Rhine.

Will he become Schröder's first Gladbach signing this winter? Certainly not a hindrance to a deal is the fact that the MLS season ends in December. Despite a contract valid until at least 2027, Pašalić might then be convinced to return to the Bundesliga.
