The news of the signing of the Indonesian National Team player, Kevin Diks, to Borussia Monchengladbach is increasingly being heard. However, fans still seem to have to be patient to see Diks grazing in the Bundesliga.

Based on information shared by local media, Fohlen-Hautnah, it is known that FC Copenhagen, which is Kevin Diks' club, currently does not want to release the player.

Quoted on Monday, December 30, 2024, it is stated that it is likely that FC Copenhagen will only release Diks in the January 2025 transfer market.

The reason is because Diks' new contract will expire in June 2025 and there is no sign that both parties have reached an agreement to update the contract.

"Last summer, rumors emerged regarding interest in centre-back Kevin Diks, who is currently playing for FC Copenhagen."

"Diks' contract with the Danish club is only valid until the summer of 2025," the Fohlen-Hautnah report said.

"So, they may have to let it go in winter if they want to get a transfer fee," continued the narrative.

However, on the other hand, the German media also said that there was one other obstacle faced by Borussia Monchengladbach if she wanted to present Kevin Diks.

The club is said to have to throw away one of its players, between Nico Elvedi and Ko Itakura, so that Diks can get a place in the squad.

This situation is certainly a consideration that must be taken carefully for the Die Fohlen camp. In addition, it certainly takes time.

Therefore, Fohlen-Hautnah said that Diks may only be able to fully close to Borussia Monchengladbach in the transfer market next summer.

"Fish-free transfers in the summer seem to be the most likely option at the moment," the German media said.

Since joining FC Copenhagen in the 2021 season, Diks has immediately become one of the important pillars.

So far this season, the defender who is also part of the Indonesian National Team has scored nine goals and three assists from 32 matches played in all competitions.
