Gladbach sporting director Roland Virkus issued a statement thanking the youngster for his long-term loyalty and wishing him every success with his "desire to play every week".
"With Conor and Memo, we have been able to gain two incredibly talented and promising talents," Linz sporting director Christoph Schösswendter added, "To be able to bring two players from Gladbach and Leipzig to us shows how much progress we've made in recent years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those responsible at both clubs for the professional and respectful way in which they handled the deal."
