Gladbach Loans 20‑Year‑Old Keeper Tiago Pereira Cardoso to Belgian First Division

The club says regular first‑team minutes in Belgium will speed the Luxembourg international’s development.

Overview

  • Borussia Mönchengladbach has loaned Tiago Pereira Cardoso to RAAL La Louvière for one season to secure consistent match play.
  • Sporting director Rouven Schröder framed the move as the logical next step for the 20‑year‑old, citing past success with goalkeeper loans.
  • Pereira Cardoso has been at Gladbach since 2022, joined the professional squad in 2025 and made five Bundesliga appearances in 2024/25.
  • The temporary departure reduces Gladbach’s senior goalkeeper count from five to four after Jonas Omlin left and Daniel Batz arrived.
  • The loan gives the Luxembourg international exposure to a competitive neighbouring league and could speed his readiness for regular national‑team and club duties, with playing time and form the key things to watch next.
