Away from the field following a painful rupture of the Achilles tendon that occurred in the spring of 2025, Nathan Ngoumou (26 years old) has been champing at the bit. Although he has been fully back on his feet since last March, the right winger unfortunately did not have the opportunity to set foot on the pitch and did not play any matches with Borussia Mönchengladbach last season. One year before the end of his commitment, the Cameroonian international could see his adventure in Germany end prematurely.
The German club would in fact consider releasing him purely and simply from his contract. A real boon that OGC Nice intends to exploit: the Riviera management has already entered into discussions with the former Toulouse FC wisp. With 71 matches played in the Bundesliga in the Gladbach jersey (for 8 goals and 3 assists), Ngoumou has very interesting experience at the top European level. Driven by a strong vindictive spirit after his long absence, he ticks all the boxes of the ideal profile for the Gym. The Aiglons, who cannot afford to recruit expensively without having completed significant departures beforehand, see in him a quality offensive reinforcement available at a lower cost. A bet to be tried urgently on the Côte d’Azur especially as other clubs such as Anderlecht are on the move.
