Swiss‑Togolese centre-back Roggerio Nyakossi of Belgian side OH Leuven is being linked with a summer switch to Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The 22-year-old, who plays as a right-footed centre-back and stands at 1.94m, is rated at €5.00m on Transfermarkt, with German reports suggesting Gladbach are closely monitoring his situation in Belgium. His contractual status at OH Leuven is unclear, with no expiry date listed, fuelling talk that the defender could be available at a reduced fee or even edge towards a free-agent scenario if no extension is agreed.
Born in Genève on 13 January 2004, Nyakossi holds both Swiss and Togolese nationality and has been establishing himself in the Jupiler Pro League with OH Leuven, where he wears the number 34 shirt. The rumour, dated 5 June 2026, lists the probability of a move as “?”, underlining that negotiations – if any – are at a very early, speculative stage.
Recent performances in Belgium have helped raise his profile. In OH Leuven’s latest league outing – a Jupiler Pro League fixture earlier this spring in which they faced domestic opposition – Nyakossi featured at the heart of defence as Leuven continued their battle for stability in the top flight, contributing with his aerial presence and positional play in a tightly contested scoreline. While detailed individual statistics from that match are limited, his continued selection has put him on the radar of clubs in stronger leagues.
With experience already in a major European top tier and a growing reputation as a physically dominant defender, a move to Borussia Mönchengladbach would represent a significant step up. If the transfer materialises, it could accelerate Nyakossi’s development, enhance his standing for both Switzerland and Togo at international level, and position him as one of the emerging defensive prospects in the Bundesliga.
