Gladbach the frontrunners for Karlsruhe full-back David Herold | OneFootball

Borussia Mönchengladbach are exploring the possibility of making a deal to sign Karlsruher SC's David Herold this summer.

Sky Germany are aware that the 23-year-old will very likely leave the Baden-Württemberg side for the Bundesliga next season. 

With a release clause estimated to be around €3.5-4 million, the full-back will be more than affordable for most German topflight teams. 

Several enquiries have already arrived for him, but the pay-TV channel highlights that Gladbach’s interest is most concrete.

Herold has made 28 appearances in total between the 2. Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal, providing a solitary assist in each. 

At 1.85 metres in stature, the former Bayern Munich youth academy player can also provide cover at centre-back as well as left midfield.

Herold could also be considered a direct replacement for Luca Netz who made the switch to Nottingham Forest in early February.
