Overview
- Borussia Mönchengladbach has confirmed Omlin’s departure and he has signed with FC Basel on a contract that runs until 2029.
- Omlin arrives to fill the gap left by retired goalkeeper Marwin Hitz and is expected to compete for Basel’s starting role.
- The 32-year-old goalkeeper had an inactive 2025/26 season, spending the second half on loan at Bayer Leverkusen where he was third-choice and made no appearances.
- Omlin previously played for Basel from 2018 to 2020, a spell he credits with his first club title and national-team recognition, and he frames the return as a homecoming.
- Gladbach’s decision to let Omlin leave a year early reduces the club’s payroll burden and gives Omlin a chance to revive his career while Basel regain an experienced keeper.
