Overview
- Media reports say Borussia Mönchengladbach has reached a basic, player-level agreement with Isac Lidberg and has opened contact with SV Darmstadt 98, but no club-to-club deal has been finalised.
- Darmstadt is reported to be asking about €5 million for Lidberg, a fee that would be the highest transfer receipt in the club’s history if agreed.
- Lidberg scored 17 goals in 30 2. Bundesliga appearances last season, has 43 goal contributions in 64 competitive games for Darmstadt since joining in 2024, and is under contract until 2027.
- The move would follow Fraser Hornby’s reported transfer to VfL Wolfsburg for roughly €4 million, meaning Darmstadt could lose two of its top forwards and face immediate squad and budgeting challenges.
- Gladbach have already signed four players this window but remain without a confirmed striker as Haris Tabakovic returns to Hoffenheim on loan, so any Lidberg deal would be aimed at filling that attacking gap.
