Tim Kleindienst on his Borussia Mönchengladbach future: “The 2. Bundesliga would probably be the wrong path.”

Speaking to Bild, Borussia Mönchengladbach striker Tim Kleindienst has addressed his future amid the club’s current struggles.

There is no doubt that Gladbach are in free fall, with the club hitting a new low in their 6-4 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend, leaving the club at the bottom of the Bundesliga and the only team without a win.

Die Fohlen are clearly missing their number nine, but if things do not get better, and the club does get relegated, Kleindienst may not stick around for long.

The striker said:

“If I want to continue playing for the national team, the 2.Bundesliga would probably be the wrong path.”

The 30-year-old’s contract at Borussia Park expires in 2028, and since joining from Heidenheim in 2024, he has 16 goals and 10 assists in 33 games, playing himself into the German national team, where he has become the country’s go-to number nine.

Kleindienst is currently out injured with a meniscus injury and is expected to return to action in November.
