After a lengthy back-and-forth, the situation surrounding Can Armando Güner at Borussia Mönchengladbach has now been finally resolved.
Borussia Mönchengladbach and Can Armando Güner: There has been a lot of commotion surrounding both parties in recent days because the 18-year-old striker wanted to leave Borussia.
Galatasaray Istanbul was supposed to be his destination. According to reports, the Turkish club enticed the Krefeld native with a place in the professional squad. At Borussia Mönchengladbach, Güner has only played for the U19 team so far. In ten games in the U19 youth league, he has scored two goals and provided three assists. In addition, he has played in three DFB Junior Cup games, in which Güner has scored twice.
Now “Gala” has confirmed the transfer and transferred a transfer fee of €350,000 to Borussia. According to media reports, Borussia Mönchengladbach could still receive up to €100,000 in bonuses. According to the Turkish radio station “HT Spor,” Borussia was unable to negotiate a resale share.
Güner still had a contract in the Lower Rhine region until summer 2026. Rouven Schröder, sporting director of the Bundesliga club, said he was unaware of any interest from Galatasaray in mid-January 2026. “The last few days have taken us a bit by surprise, because we haven’t heard anything,” he said at a press conference.
He added: “If someone wants something from us, they have all our numbers and email addresses.”
Schröder also had a little dig in: “He’s not a super talent, he’s a talent like many others we have.” Nevertheless, his loss will weigh heavily.
Reigning Turkish champions and cup winners Galatasaray Istanbul currently lead the Turkish league with 49 points. In second place, with 46 points, is city rival Fenerbahce Istanbul. Trabzonspor is in third place with 42 points. It will probably come down to a title battle between the two traditional Istanbul clubs. And Can Armando Güner, Argentine U17 national team player, now wants to get involved in the near future.
