Borussia Mönchengladbach finalize details of Shio Fukuda’s Karlsruhe loan | OneFootball

Florian Plettenberg reports that Borussia Mönchengladbach and Karlsruher SC have worked out the details of Shio Fukuda’s loan. The 21-year-old will head to the 2. Bundesliga for the season on loan with a purchase option totaling around €1-1.5m.

Rumors about the rather significant transfer began surfacing earlier today. Fukuda was not in the Gladbach squad for their opening round Pokal fixture over the weekend. Plettenberg reports that Fukuda is headed to the Fächerstadt to complete his medical immediately.

Fukuda has made 11 top flight appearances for Gladbach over the last two seasons. He scored his inaugural Bundesliga goal last January and also dazzled for the foals in a recent pre-season friendly over the summer. Despite this, he was not expected to earn playing time with the first team this year.

Fukuda remains under contract with Gladbach until 2027 and maintains an estimated market value of €500,000. The deal should be confirmed by early tomorrow.
