According to German media Bild, in order to find a stand-in for Kleindinster, who may leave the team, Borussia Mönchengladbach is fully promoting the transfer of 25-year-old Japanese striker Machino Shuito from Holsteinkiel. The media revealed that Borussia Mönchengladbach has arranged for the players' physical examinations.

Machino Shuito has played 32 Bundesliga games for Holsteinkiel this season, scoring 11 goals and assists twice. Germany's turnaround price has also risen to 5 million euros, but he has failed to help the team get rid of the fate of relegation.
