Bye Leverkusen. This summer, the German stable has already been pillaged from all sides. It started with Xabi Alonso, who left the 2024 German champion's bench to take control of Real Madrid. On the players' side, Jonathan Tah went to the enemy. Indeed, the defender, at the end of the contract, signed in favor of Bayern Munich. Jeremie Frimpong, he reported 40 M € thanks to his transfer to Liverpool. A club that should also go to the checkout for Florian Wirtz. For him, we are talking about € 150 million.
Despite this announced XXL summer bleeding, Leverkusen intends to respond and strengthen to satisfy his new coach, Erik Ten Hag. The latter will already be able to count on Ibrahim Maza, bought € 12 million from Hertha Berlin, and on goalkeeper Mark Flekken, bought € 10 million in Brentford. Ditto for Christian Kofane (18, Albacete), who is already in Germany, and Axel Tape (17, ex-PSG), who signed. To strengthen himself, the new strong man of Bayer Leverkusen still has some ideas for this transfer window. Indeed, he plans in particular to draw from his old club, Manchester United.
Leverkusen rakes wide
The tracks leading to Antony and Alejandro Garnacho were mentioned. Difficult because it is expensive. The Dutch technician also looks on the side of Manchester City. Indeed, Jack Grealish's profile pleases him very much. It is not a secret, English is pushed towards the exit by Pep Guardiola, who does not want him to participate in the Club World Cup. For his part, the 29 -year -old, who wants to put the odds on his side to play the 2026 World Cup with the Three Lions, does not exclude leaving. For the past few days, several clubs have been thinking of him.
Newcastle, Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa or Naples are cited. This Tuesday, The Sun evokes the interest of Leverkusen and Ten Hag, who sees in him “The perfect Wirtz replacement” As he explained to his club. To recruit it, it will be necessary to put at least € 48 million. This is the minimum price requested by City. We will also have to convince the player, who has an imposing salary. At the same time, Kicker announces that the profile of Nico Paz, more affordable, is also appreciated in La Bayarena. The latter also follow Nayef Aguerd (West Ham) according to our information. On all fronts, the Germans will energize this transfer window!
