According to information from MediasportifFR, the name of Gédéon Nongo is starting to circulate in Europe and Bayer Leverkusen is one of the clubs attentive to the development of the young Congolese defensive midfielder. Aged only seventeen, the AS Otôho player has already stood out on the international scene thanks to his six selections with Congo Brazzaville and his participation in CHAN as well as qualifications for the 2026 World Cup.
Measuring 1.75m, right-handed and capable of playing in a central defensive role, Nongo displays a rare maturity for his age. Its rapid progress, particularly against high-level opponents like Morocco, has aroused the interest of several European clubs. The City Group, Atlético Madrid and even Olympique Lyonnais are interested in him. In this context, Bayer Leverkusen’s interest confirms the club’s reputation for identifying young talents capable of taking the next step in a demanding environment very early on.
In the short term, a transfer to Europe remains a real possibility for Gédéon Nongo, even if his integration into a first team could require an intermediate transition or gradual development. For Leverkusen, this is a low risk but high potential file, faithful to the recruitment strategy focused on young, dynamic profiles with high room for progression.
