Arrivals
Odilon Kossounou has arrived! The 20-year-old Ivorian central defender signs a contract with Bayer 04 until 2026, fee around €24m according to Bild. He wears the number 6. Welcome!
Nathaniel Phillips, a 24-year-old centre back from Liverpool is on Leverkusen's shortlist according to Sky Sports. He got his chance with Liverpool later on this season after their catastrophic injury woes but is credited by Liverpool fans for being the reason they achieved finishing in the Champions League spots.
PSG winger Dina Ebimbe is yet another name who could join Leverkusen after relegated Dijon refused to pay his purchase option worth €4m. We purportedly watched him in winter according to Fussballeck, but whether that interest remains in the present is another issue. He struggled this season, like his team, managing just a single goal and a single assist in the entire season.
Groningen defensive midfielder Azor Matusiwa, likened to Kante and Makelele, interests Bayer 04. He should cost around €5m euros but Leicester are favourites to sign him according to HommeduMatch.
Departures
Demarai Gray's move to Everton is now official. He signs a contract until 2024 with the option to extend for a further year. I wish him the best for the next chapter in his career.
There are new favourites in the race for Leon Bailey according to the Daily Mail. Aston Villa. They are willing to pay €35m for the player, a low amount given that he just played his best ever season and his contract still runs to 2023. Aston Villa will not play in Europe next season, making them one of the less attractive options for Bailey on paper.
