Bayer Leverkusen activates buyout clause for young talent

Bayer Leverkusen is on the verge of acquiring one of the great hopes of the Olympique Lyonnais Academy. Young French midfielder Kenan Doganay will leave the Rhone club to join the Bundesliga, where a five-year contract awaits him. According to Kickerthis arrival is not linked to a possible departure of players from the professional sector, but is part of the policy of recruiting young talents led by the German club.

Aged 17 and measuring 1.90m, Kenan Doganay can play as a defensive midfielder or central midfielder. French U16 and U17 international, he already has 23 caps and 4 goals with the Bleuets. Considered one of the most promising players of his generation, he should initially join the Bayer Leverkusen under-19 team. For OL, this departure represents another significant loss towards Germany, after that of Afonso Moreira, who also left to join the German club in recent weeks.
