Borussia Mönchengladbach have reached an agreement to sign Enzo Leopold, the captain of 2. Bundesliga side Hannover 96, according to Sky Germany. The 25-year-old central midfielder is expected to move to the Bundesliga club on a permanent transfer when his current contract with Hannover expires.
Leopold has been a key figure for Hannover over the past two seasons, making 124 appearances in total since joining from Freiburg II in 2022. This past season, he featured in 34 matches across all competitions, contributing three goals and four assists as Hannover finished seventh in the 2. Bundesliga. His consistent performances and leadership qualities as captain have drawn the attention of several Bundesliga clubs, with Mönchengladbach ultimately securing his signature.
Die Fohlen are reportedly offering Leopold a long-term contract, extending to 2030, signaling their belief in his potential. Mönchengladbach finished tenth in the Bundesliga this past season, a campaign that saw them struggle for consistency after a promising start. Manager Gerardo Seoane will be hoping Leopold’s arrival can add steel and creativity to the midfield, addressing a perceived weakness in the squad.
The transfer makes sense for both parties, with Leopold gaining the opportunity to test himself at the highest level in German football. For Mönchengladbach, the signing represents a cost-effective acquisition of a proven performer who knows the German football landscape well. The club confirmed they were looking to strengthen their midfield options during the summer transfer window, and Leopold appears to be a key part of those plans. An official announcement regarding the transfer is anticipated in the coming days.
Leopold’s arrival at Borussia-Park could see him compete with the likes of Florian Neuhaus and Tomáš Čvančara for a starting position in midfield. The move provides Leopold with a platform to further develop his career and potentially earn a call-up to the German national team in the future.
