Bayer Leverkusen is apparently about to sign offensive talent Jayden Braaf. Like the online portal Tuttomercatoweb reported that the Werkself won the race for the 19-year-old. Braaf joins on a free transfer from Manchester City, via Instagram the Dutchman already said goodbye to the Citizens.
“I would like to thank everyone at Manchester City for the trust and support they have shown me over the past few years. I have grown both personally and professionally and would not be where I am today without their support. Thank you Thanks to my teammates, academy staff and fans,” he wrote.
Jayden Braaf: A year without a game after a knee injury
Braaf, who is mainly at home on the wings, switched to the Skyblues from the PSV Eindhoven youth team in 2018. At the time, he was considered one of Europe’s greatest talents. However, on loan to Udinese Calcio, he suffered a serious knee injury shortly before the end of the 2020/21 season and has not played a competitive game since.
For Leverkusen, a transfer would probably not be too big a risk. Braaf does not cost a high transfer fee, and the salary should also be manageable. However, if the youngster recovers fully, he can become a reinforcement for the Rhinelanders’ offensive.
