West Ham United are reportedly ahead of Brighton and Fulham in the pursuit of Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Rocco Reitz. The 23-year-old, who impressed during Germany’s U21 European Championship run, is attracting growing interest across Europe following a breakout season in the Bundesliga.
Reitz made 27 appearances last season and contributed six goals, earning praise for his aggressive style and creative instincts. Despite recently signing a contract extension until 2028, Gladbach are open to offers amid fears of losing him for a lower fee next summer due to a €20 million release clause that activates in 2026.
Premier League clubs have already made initial inquiries, and bids are expected soon. West Ham are said to be the most proactive, with manager Graham Potter keen to add midfield depth following several summer exits.
Clubs like Inter Milan and RB Leipzig are also monitoring the situation, but Premier League sides may have the financial edge. Reitz’s playing style has drawn comparisons to Michael Ballack, and his physicality and passing range make him a standout option for teams seeking a box-to-box midfielder.
