Eine Europa-Qualifikation würde in Gladbach alles erleichtern…
Borussia hätte höhere Einnahmen, wäre attraktiver für die eigenen Stars und könnte WM-Kandidaten wie Tim Kleindienst (29) eine größere Bühne bieten. Doch bleibt der Top-Stürmer (15 Tore in 28 Spielen) auch ohne Europa?
[–>SPORT BILD erklärt, was der Stürmer will und ab welcher Summe ihn Gladbach gehen lassen müsste.
Aktuell läuft der Klub Gefahr, seinen Traum vom internationalen Geschäft zu verpassen, der Rückstand auf die zwischenzeitlich erreichbaren Champions-League-Plätze beträgt fünf Punkte, der Rückstand auf den Conference-League-Platz derzeit drei Zähler. Damit sinken auch die Chancen, namhafte Stars vom Bleiben zu überzeugen.
Kleindienst forderte bereits eine interne Aussprache, um das Leistungsniveau hochzuhalten. Seine Treuebekenntnisse klangen zuletzt weicher, über seine Zukunft sagte er ehrlich: „Natürlich würde man sich Angebote anschauen, das ist Fakt.“ Noch liegen nach SPORT BILD-Info keine konkreten Anfragen für ihn vor. Die Führungsetage des Vereins rechnet allerdings mit einer Transfer-Offensive anderer Klubs im kommenden Sommer.
Eine Ausstiegsklausel in seinem Vertrag bis 2028 besitzt Kleindienst nicht, Gladbach wäre aufgrund der angespannten Finanzsituation jedoch gezwungen, sich ab 20 Millionen Euro Ablöse gesprächsbereit zu zeigen. Vorteil Gladbach: Für den Stürmer hat Priorität, einen sicheren Stammplatz zu haben, um sich weiter für den WM-Kader von Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann (37) zu empfehlen.
Haut der Gladbach-Star ab?: Transfer-Diskussion über Kleindienst
Kleindienst war vor der Saison per Ausstiegsklausel in Höhe von sieben Millionen Euro von Liga-Konkurrent Heidenheim nach Gladbach gewechselt. Bei Borussia steigerte er seinen Marktwert von zwischenzeitlich acht auf jetzt 17 Millionen Euro. In 30 Pflichtspielen für die Borussia erzielte er bislang 15 Treffer und bereitete acht weitere vor. Perfekte Eigenwerbung in alle Richtungen. Wie plant der Stürmer nun seine Zukunft?
Die SPORT BILD-Prognose: Kleindienst bleibt auch ohne Europa noch bis 2026 in Gladbach, um die Chancen auf den WM-Kader weiter hochzuhalten.

Pittsburgh Steelers draft picks, grades: NFL draft order, mock drafts, rumors as Derrick Harmon taken 21st
Getty Images Fasten your seatbelts, Steelers fans, because the 2025 NFL Draft is shaping up to be a memorable one for Pittsburgh. For a second straight year, the Steelers completely turned over their quarterback room. Gone are Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, who went a combined 10-8 (including the postseason) as Pittsburgh's starting quarterbacks last year. The Steelers re-signed Mason Rudolph and are hoping that Aaron Rodgers decides to join them sometime this spring/summer. With Rodgers still unsigned, the Steelers may be compelled to draft a quarterback, although they have more pressing needs on their roster. But it'll be interesting to see what Steelers general manager Omar Khan does if one of the draft's top-rated quarterbacks falls into their lap at some point during the draft. On Thursday night, Pittsburgh had a chance to select Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders with the 21st pick, […]
New England Patriots draft picks, grades: NFL draft order, mock drafts, rumors as Will Campbell goes No. 4
Getty Images The New England Patriots are currently sitting in the doldrums of the NFL. The once dominant organization has since posted back-to-back 4-13 seasons, and is now on its third coach in as many years. While things have certainly taken a turn for the worst for Robert Kraft's team as of late, there is hope that the Patriots will claw back to relevancy. New England has seemingly found its quarterback of the future after selecting Drake Maye with the third overall pick last offseason, and have since tapped franchise icon Mike Vrabel to lead the organization going forward as its head coach. The club is also hot off the heels of strong free agent class where it brought in the likes of Milton Williams, Carlton Davis, Stefon Diggs and Morgan Moses, addressing key areas on the roster. Now, the attention turns to […]

NFL likely to tweak Thanksgiving schedule in 2025, Christmas tripleheader set to become permanent
Getty Images The NFL is planning to take over Christmas. In two of the past three years, the league has scheduled a tripleheader for Dec. 25 and starting with 2025, that's going to become a permanent part of the schedule. Yup, the Christmas tripleheader is likely here to stay. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell revealed that news during an interview on The Pat McAfee Show Friday. "I think we will clearly have three games every year [on Christmas]," Goodell said. The NFL was already planning to hold a tripleheader this year with the league announcing in March that Netflix and Amazon would be streaming the games. Since Christmas is on a Thursday in 2025, Amazon will be getting its standard Thursday night game while Netflix will be handling the other two games as part of a three-year deal that it signed with the NFL in […]
