Borussia Mönchengladbach and David Herold have now reached an agreement in principle over a transfer this summer.

Gladbach are prepared to trigger the release clause, worth around €3.5–4 million, for the left-back from Karlsruhe SC. 

It must be mentioned that the two clubs have not yet been in contact, according to Sky Germany's latest update.

It's believed a key factor for the deal to be completed is survival in the Bundesliga for the struggling Rhineland side.

As things stand, the Foals sit in thirteenth place on 31 points – five clear of FC St. Pauli who occupy the relegation play-off spot.

This campaign, 23-year-old Herold has played in 31 games across all domestic competitions and provided a pair of assists.
