Before moving to Monchengladbach in August 2021, the Germany Under-21 international was highly anticipated to make a significant impact in the Bundesliga after excelling in Hertha Berlin’s junior system. Adi Hütter, the Gladbach coach, talked about how far he thought Netz could go in his career at Borussia Park shortly after making that transition.

“Luca is a boy and has to become a man before he can reach his full potential,” he stated to Bild. However, seeing such a wonderful talent grow is enjoyable. He’s cheeky and completely carefree. Luca will play a significant role for Gladbach in the future.

Over the past three years, Netz has solidified his position as a mainstay in the Gladbach first team, having made over 70 appearances for the squad currently under Gerardo Seoane’s management.
