Borussia Mönchengladbach and Augsburg interested in American talent Santiago Castañeda | OneFootball

Transfermarkt reports that Borussia Mönchengladbach and FC Augsburg have enquired about Paderborn midfielder Santiago Castañeda. The American talent has often been a topic of interest at Bundesliga clubs. Interest in the 20-year-old continues to grow after the Tampa-native turned in a successful 2. Bundesliga season and increased his estimated market value from €800,000 to €4m in the last 12 months.

Transfermarkt nevertheless does note that Paderborn have rejected multi-million-figure from clubs in Spain, England, Denmark. Croatia, and even Castañeda’s native USA during this time frame. The East Westphalians find themselves in little mood to sell more players this summer after parting company with Aaron Zehnter (Wolfsburg) and Ilyas Ansah (Union Berlin).

Castañeda himself may have little interest in joining either top flight club as the both the FCA midfield and the BMG midfield are clogged with competitors. Castañeda has made a combined 66 2. Bundesliga and 3. Liga appearances for Paderborn and Duisburg since moving to Germany in the summer of 2023. He remains under contract with his current club until 2027.
