Bayer Leverkusen’s squad planners are facing a busy summer of transfers. As the ‘kicker’ reports, the sixth-placed Bundesliga player is looking for reinforcements in five positions, regardless of whether they qualify for the international competition.
A new central defender is to come to give Xabi Alonso’s preferred three-man system more options – Jonathan Tah also wants to leave the club.
Also wanted for rear left. The free transfer Alejandro Grimaldo (Benfica Lisbon) and Milos Kerkez (AZ Alkmaar) were traded here most recently. Daley Sinkgraven will probably not extend his expiring contract, the left-back indicated a farewell.
First transfer fixed
A defensive six should also make their way to Leverkusen. According to reports, there is interest in Anton Stach from Mainz, among others. Also on the wish list according to ‘kicker’: two new offensive players, one for the wing and a fast man for the center of attack.
Incidentally, Bayer has already bagged the first summer transfer: right-back Arthur comes from Brazil for seven million euros. The 20-year-old signed a contract until 2028 in early April.
However, it cannot be ruled out that more will be added here should Jeremie Frimpong, who is being courted by top clubs, or supplementary player Timothy Fosu-Mensah change. Bayer has Hamari Traoré (Stade Rennes) and Ridle Baku (VfL Wolfsburg) on the list.
