Gladbach star extends contract early

Borussia Mönchengladbach fans are not in high spirits at the moment. Could a contract extension provide the first ray of hope?

Update from October 17th, 2:47 p.m.: Now it’s official: Borussia Mönchengladbach has extended Robin Hack’s contract, which runs until 2027, by two years until June 30, 2029.

“I’m extremely pleased that the contract extension worked out and I’m looking forward to the next few years here at Borussia.” My family and I have felt very comfortable in Mönchengladbach from the start. “I have already experienced many beautiful moments at BORUSSIA-PARK with the team and am looking forward to many more,” says Hack. “The environment and general conditions are right at Borussia. I really enjoy working with the boys and I will help the team to score as many points as possible.”

First report from October 16th, 7:12 p.m.: Mönchengladbach – In the coming weeks, Borussia Mönchengladbach and presumably also Gerardo Seoane will face three key games. Before that, the club had positive news to announce.

Hack apparently extended prematurely in Gladbach

How Sky Sports On Wednesday evening it was announced that Robin Hack was about to have his contract extended early. Accordingly, the contract, which is valid until 2027, will be extended until 2029. There is complete agreement between both parties.

Hack was signed by third division relegated Arminia Bielefeld in the summer of 2023 for just over one million euros and developed into one of Gladbach’s few bright spots over the course of last season. With ten goals, Hack became the club’s top goalscorer.

There have been several transfer rumors doing the rounds in the past few months. Initially, Fiorentina was considered interested in Hack, who is also said to have attracted the attention of Juventus Turin and VfB Stuttgart. However, the left winger emphasized that he had never considered a change.

With a contract extension, Hack received a salary increase. Sports director Roland Virkus wanted to keep the 26-year-old, who was rated as a key player Sky Sports further.

Is hack now important again?

Hack has had a complicated summer; the dangerous offensive player has been slowed down by, among other things, a persistent infection. So far, only one starting eleven appearance has been recorded in the Bundesliga. However, the recently tame offensive could make good use of Hack’s goal threat from the last second half of the season – and in the coming weeks he may form a wing with Franck Honorat that will put the opponent in more trouble again.

For Borussia, a contract extension would be a positive signal in the midst of complicated weeks. Hack already serves as a prime example of the prescribed way to buy players cheaply, develop them and sell them for a profit. However, the latter step is not expected to be completed in the foreseeable future.
