- Sky Germany reports that Daniel Batz will join Borussia Mönchengladbach on a free transfer after the season ends.
- The 35-year-old has played 25 matches for Mainz this term, keeping seven clean sheets.

Borussia Mönchengladbach are preparing to sign experienced goalkeeper Daniel Batz from 1. FSV Mainz 05. According to Sky Germany, the 35-year-old will make the switch at the end of the season without a transfer fee.
Batz has spent this campaign as backup to Robin Zentner at Mainz. However, an injury to the first-choice keeper gave Batz his opportunity. The veteran has since played in 25 matches across the Bundesliga and the UEFA Conference League. He has kept seven clean sheets during this spell.
The potential arrival of Batz adds intrigue to Gladbach’s goalkeeping department. The club currently has several keepers under contract, but their roles remain unclear. Managers have not confirmed who will stand between the posts next season.
If the move goes ahead, Batz could become the main goalkeeper at Borussia-Park. His recent performances show he still has the quality needed at the top level. The deal would be a smart piece of business for Gladbach, signing a proven player for free.
