Barcelona, Real Madrid in transfer tussle to sign Wael Mohya

Barcelona and Real Madrid are reportedly locked in a transfer battle to secure a permanent deal for 17-year-old Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Wael Mohya. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool and seven other major European clubs are also monitoring the German youth international, whose current contract reportedly includes a €35 million release clause.

Mohya has registered five goals and two assists in 28 appearances for Monchengladbach and recently earned a senior national team call-up. Despite significant transfer interest from European giants seeking midfield reinforcements, Monchengladbach are reportedly preparing to offer the teenager a new contract to ward off prospective suitors.
