The newspaper covers various loan players from Gladbach today. He explains how he has performed this season while away from the German club.

While some are bracing for a permanent exit, Tomas Cuancara will not be one of them. According to him, Celtic have no plans for the 25-year-old player. They beat Rangers to his signature in JanuaryBut it did not work out.

He managed to score two goals in only nine games in his loan debut at Celtic. He then missed the end of the season after undergoing back surgery.

Whatever he showed in Scotland has not been enough to convince the Scottish champions to exercise his €8m purchase option. Therefore, Cuancaura will return to Borussia this summer.

His contract with them is till 2028 and he can return to the team in July. But the Bundesliga side aren’t planning on using him either.

next move

The expectation was that he would be successful in Scotland after a disappointing loan spell at Antalyaspor in the first half of the campaign. But this has not been proven to be the case.

Since arriving at Celtic at the end of January he has managed to feature in only 32% of available minutes.

Although he scored goals in wins over Falkirk and Motherwell, as well as assists against Hearts and Kilmarnock, his numbers were unimpressive.

The striker failed to manage more than 72 minutes in any of his appearances. He also did not feature in the 1–0 win over St Mirren in April.

Now he is being sent back to Borussia Mönchengladbach. They need to find another suitor and hopefully they can recoup any of the €10.5m they paid to sign him in 2023. With a current valuation of €2m, this could be a difficult task.
