Borussia Mönchengladbach was in discussions with Arnaud Nordin until the end but eventually lost out to Mainz 05. The club considered Nordin as a potential acquisition instead of the more expensive Jan-Niklas Beste from Benfica Lisbon. Despite negotiations, Mainz secured the transfer.

Borussia Mönchengladbach showed interest in signing Arnaud Nordin, a 26-year-old winger currently under contract with HSC Montpellier. Despite their interest, they lost out to FSV Mainz 05, who successfully secured Nordin's transfer.

Arnaud Nordin's contract with HSC Montpellier is set to expire at the end of the season, making him a potential candidate for a cheaper transfer during the winter transfer window. Reports from 'Sky' indicate that the parties involved are already in close contact, with very good and concrete discussions having taken place and more scheduled. It is understood that Nordin is open to the idea of moving to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the winter. The 26-year-old Frenchman has been an integral player for Montpellier over the past two and a half years, contributing four goals and one assist in 17 appearances this season. His potential transfer would enhance the French presence in Mönchengladbach's attack, which currently features Franck Honorat, Alassane Pléa, and possibly Nathan Ngoumou.
