Kevin Stöger (30) has been newly signed by Borussia Mönchengladbach from Bochum.

Kevin Stöger had other offers - for Borussia Mönchengladbach he is giving up a lot of money! Besides Union Berlin, Eintracht Frankfurt in particular wanted to sign the technically strong standard expert. The Europa League participant offered a salary that was over a million euros higher than what the midfielder is now getting at the chronically broke Borussia, calculated over the contract term (Stöger signed with VfL until 2027). But a regular place is worth more to him than money - and he sees much better chances for that in Gladbach.

Kevin Stöger (30) moves on a free transfer from Bochum to Niederrhein, signing a contract until 2027. Manager Roland Virkus confirms: "Kevin is an established Bundesliga player and has developed into a real leader at his last stations. In addition, he brings a lot of goal threat - as a preparer through clever passes, after standards and after crosses or even as a goal scorer."

Kevin Stöger, a 30-year-old midfielder who played a crucial role in Bochum's Bundesliga relegation match, is set to join Borussia Mönchengladbach. After Bochum's survival in the Bundesliga, Stöger had hinted at signing with a new club. The news was confirmed by Sky and kicker. The official deal, which includes a contract until June 30, 2027, with a possible option until 2028, is yet to be confirmed by the club. Stöger's current contract with VfL is set to expire at the end of June, so Borussia Mönchengladbach will not have to pay a transfer fee.
