Japan Defender Itakura Returns To Borussia Monchengladbach From Ajax.
Ko Itakura: Borussia Monchengladbach has re-signed Japan international Ko Itakura from Ajax Amsterdam, bringing the centre-back back to the Bundesliga club just one year after his departure, Gladbach announced on Thursday.
The 29-year-old has signed a contract running until 2030 and returns after spending the 2025-26 campaign in the Netherlands. Itakura is expected to help fill the defensive gap left by Nico Elvedi, who ended 11 years at Gladbach to join Leeds United.
Sporting director Rouven Schroder said the club had already considered bringing Itakura back during the winter and welcomed the opportunity to complete the move.
