Grant-Leon Ranos

ANALYSIS
Ranos made 10 appearances across all competitions for Gladbach before his loan move, but failed to start any of them, prompting the club to send him to Braunschweig in the second half of the season for more regular action. That change of scenery didn't solve his playing time issues either, as he made 11 appearances for the Zweitliga side without ever playing more than 35 minutes in any of them. With that loan now up, Ranos is back in Gladbach's squad for pre-season, though his lack of consistent minutes across two stops raises real questions about his path forward, whether that's fighting for a role at Gladbach or being sent out again before the summer window closes.
