Borussia Mönchengladbach have been linked with a move for VfL Bochum centre-back Bernardo for some time now.

However, it appears that Die Fohlen are not the only suitors for the 29-year-old.

According to Bild, a number of scouts from English clubs were in attendance at Saturday's 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund to keep an eye on Bernardo.

Bernardo's contract expires at the end of the season. According to WAZ, it will be automatically extended after 17 competitive matches, but only if Bochum stay in the league.

The Brazilian defender has made 12 appearances for Bochum this season. Dieter Hecking's side are currently 17th in the table.
