Florian Neuhaus

Florian Christian Neuhaus (German pronunciation: [ˈfloːʁi̯aːn ˈnɔʏhaʊs]; born 16 March 1997) is a German professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Neuhaus was born 40 miles outside of Munich and started his youth career with local club 1860 Munich. In the semi-finals of the German youth league in 2016, Neuhaus scored the winner against Borussia Dortmund in a 2–1 victory, doing so from the halfway line in the 89th minute. The strike was named Goal of the Month by German broadcaster Sportschau.

After impressing in the 2. Bundesliga in his debut professional season with 1860 Munich, he moved to Borussia Mönchengladbach in summer 2017 on a long-term contract. He was immediately loaned to Fortuna Düsseldorf for the 2017–18 season, where his six goals and three assists in 27 second-tier matches helped Fortuna clinch the league title and promotion to the top flight.

On 19 November 2019, Mönchengladbach announced that Neuhaus had penned a contract extension with the club lasting until 2024. At the time of signing, Neuhaus had made 50 appearances for 'Die Fohlen' and had contributed five goals and 10 assists in all competitions. He has gone on to play in all but two of Gladbach's Bundesliga outings during the 2018–19 season, and has only missed four league outings during the 2019–20 season, becoming a key part of Marco Rose's squad. On 12 September 2020, he scored two goals as Gladbach defeated Oberneuland by a score of 8–0 in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.

On 28 July 2023, Neuhaus extended his contract with Mönchengladbach on a four-year deal, tying him with the club until 2027.

In July 2025, Neuhaus was fined and demoted to Mönchengladbach's under-23 squad after a video circulated online of the player insulting Mönchengladbach's then-sporting director Roland Virkus, calling him the "worst manager in the world", and criticized Virkus' decision to give Neuhaus an annual salary of €4 million.

Neuhaus is a former youth international for Germany. He was called up to the senior Germany squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against Spain and Switzerland in September 2020. He made his debut on 7 October 2020, against Turkey in a friendly game, while scoring his first goal as well. On 19 May 2021, he was selected to the squad for the UEFA Euro 2020.
