Bayer Leverkusen are not wasting any time as they prepare for a summer of big changes.
After a season that saw them push in both domestic and European competitions, the German club is now planning for what comes next.
They have already lost their manager Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid who brought glory days back to the club by winning the Bundesliga.
So, former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was appointed the new manager for the German club.
One of their top names Florian Wirtz is already heading to Liverpool, and the club is already looking for someone who can fill that void.
With scouts watching closely, Leverkusen have zeroed in on an option they believe has the potential to slot into their system right away.
Talks have quietly started behind the scenes, and there is growing hope that a deal could come together soon.
According to the Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Bundesliga giants have opened discussions with a Premier League side to sign one of their most technically gifted players.
The goal is clear; add pace, creativity, and flair to the attack before the season begins.
Leverkusen are not just after youth; they want experience, someone who knows how to compete at a high level.
The English club involved in these talks is reportedly open to the idea.
They see the value in cashing in now and using the funds to improve other areas of the squad.
The asking price is believed to be around €50 million, which might be within reach for a club preparing for Champions League football.
Also, they sold Florian Wirtz to Liverpool with a massive fee.
If things progress smoothly, Leverkusen could land a player who has already played in several top leagues and carries the kind of versatility that suits Ten Hag’s system.
Supporters are waiting eagerly for updates, especially given the departure of Florian Wirtz.
The man being lined up to step into the role is none other than Justin Kluivert.
The 26-year-old AFC Bournemouth forward has scored 12 goals and provided 8 assists in 34 Premier League appearances last season.
If the deal goes through, the Dutch forward, Justin Kluivert, could become Bayer Leverkusen’s key signing to replace Florian Wirtz ahead of the 2025–26 season.
