Injury woes end, Ngoumou leaves Gladbach for Nice now

Nathan Ngoumou, the 26‑year‑old offensive winger, has left Borussia Mönchengladbach a year before his contract expires to join OGC Nice, with the French club paying no transfer fee but granting Gladbach a ten‑percent future sell‑on share; his market value is listed at €3.50 million.

Injury‑plagued spell at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Ngoumou arrived from FC Toulouse in 2022 but repeatedly struggled with physical problems.

An Achilles tendon rupture in the 2024/25 season kept him out for roughly a year, and he recorded no appearances in the most recent campaign.

He featured in 78 official matches for the club, scoring nine goals and providing five assists.

His last appearance came as a brief cameo in April 2025 against FC St. Pauli, a 1:1 draw.

Free transfer and reactions

The move was confirmed Offiziell on 17.08.2026 at 21:14, with Nice paying no upfront fee for the 26‑year‑old.

Borussia Mönchengladbach retained a ten‑percent financial interest in any future sale, according to the announcement.

Ngoumou’s contract with Gladbach ran until 2027, making the early departure a mutual solution.

His listed Marktwert stands at €3.50 million, reflecting his potential despite recent injuries.

Sport director Rouven Schröder said, “Nathan comes from a long‑term injury and needs time and match practice to regain his former level; we cannot offer that because of the competition situation, and with his contract running to 2027 this solution is best for all sides.”

Ngoumou added, “I want to thank the whole club and its fans; the experiences here have shaped me as a person, especially the family‑like atmosphere that helped me through the difficult moments of the last year, and I truly wish Borussia all the best for the coming season.”
