Tunisian-German defensive midfielder Rani Khedira of Union Berlin is being linked with a summer switch to Bundesliga rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The 32-year-old, born in Stuttgart and currently wearing the No 8 shirt for Union, is the subject of fresh speculation after reports in Germany on 25 June 2026 suggested Gladbach are monitoring his situation, with the probability of a move still officially listed as “?”.
Khedira’s contract details at Union are not publicly disclosed and there is no confirmed expiry date, leaving open the possibility that he could be available as a free agent if his deal has run down or is not renewed. His current market value is estimated at €2.00m, according to Transfermarkt, a figure that would make him a comparatively low-cost option for a club seeking experience and stability in midfield.
Standing at 1.88m and predominantly right-footed, Khedira is regarded as a specialist in the defensive midfield role. He has been a mainstay in the Bundesliga with Union Berlin, having previously come through the German system and building a reputation as a screening midfielder who protects the back line and offers tactical discipline.
The Tunisian-German, who holds nationalities of both Tunisia and Germany, has spent recent seasons anchoring Union’s midfield in the Bundesliga. In his latest outing before the current wave of transfer rumours, he featured for Union Berlin in a league fixture against domestic opposition this year, contributing his usual defensive work in a tightly contested match, although specific attacking returns such as goals or assists were not recorded in that game.
With his experience, profile and relatively modest valuation, a move to Mönchengladbach would offer Khedira the chance to prolong his top-flight career and potentially reshape his reputation as a reliable Bundesliga holding midfielder if the deal is ultimately completed.
