According to Sky Germany, Borussia Mönchengladbach are investigating the possibility of signing Heidenheim's Tim Kleindienst.

The report claims that Die Fohlen have already held talks with the 28-year-old Heidenheim striker about a possible summer move.

He has a contract that runs until 2027, but it reportedly includes a release clause, with Sky Germany estimating it to be between €7-12 million, depending on which club triggers the clause.

Given Gladbach's rather unconvincing 14th place finish, they would be able to sign him for a fee at the lower end of the spectrum.

Kleindienst scored 14 goals in 35 games for Heidenheim in all competitions through the 2023/24 campaign.

In total, he has made 172 appearances for the club, scoring 83 goals and providing 23 assists.

Gladbach announced their second signing for the 2024/25 campaign on Tuesday, introducing Kevin Stoeger, who arrives from VFL Bochum on a three-year deal.

Die Fohlen have also confirmed the capture of Holstein Kiel captain Luca Sander.
