Young keeper Jan Olschowsky will most likely stay with Borussia Mönchengladbach in the long term. According to information from ‘Sky’, the 21-year-old is in advanced talks with the Foals about a contract extension. Only details are to be clarified. According to the pay station, the Neuss native has been with Gladbach for several years.
Olschowsky made his Bundesliga debut for the Foals this season and has missed two games so far. The ‘Bild’ had already reported in the summer that the youngster was believed to be the new number one in the medium to long term. However, the generational change in goal could now happen faster than originally thought.
The approaching extension with Olschowsky can certainly be understood as a sign that the current bottom of the table is preparing for the departure of Yann Sommer. Consequently, behind closed doors, consideration could have been given to forgoing an external solution and instead trusting in Olschowsky. Appropriately: Hasan Salihamidzic confirmed to ‘Sky’ this Friday that the record champions are targeting summer.
Farke doesn’t give up on summer
However, foal coach Daniel Farke does not want to know anything about an imminent farewell to the Swiss. In a media round on Friday, the 46-year-old commented on the ongoing rumors of transfers: “I assume he will play here in the second half of the season, yes.” In Munich you will certainly not like to hear this statement. Sommer is the dream solution in goal until Manuel Neuer has fully recovered from his broken lower leg.
