Bayer Leverkusen confirms: Facundo Medina signs contract
Bayer Leverkusen has officially announced the signing of Facundo Medina. The 24-year-old Argentine defender joins after one season at Olympique Marseille and will compete in the Europa League next season. The contract runs until 2029. Medina, who previously played for Racing Club de Avellaneda, is expected to strengthen Leverkusen's defense, which had a goal difference of +20 last season with 59 goals scored and 39 conceded. With 52 points and a 5th place finish in the 2025/26 Bundesliga, the team narrowly missed out on international competition.
Facundo Medina is a 24-year-old Argentine center-back known for his defensive strength and ability to initiate play. He started his career at Racing Club de Avellaneda before moving to Olympique Marseille in 2023. After one season in France, he has now chosen to join Bayer Leverkusen to continue his career in the Bundesliga.
Medina is expected to strengthen Leverkusen's defense, which conceded 39 goals last season. With his experience and defensive skills, he will play a key role in Xabi Alonso's team. Leverkusen, which finished 24 points behind league leader Bayern Munich last season, hopes Medina will help them take a significant step forward.
Medina will join the team in the coming weeks and prepare for the new season. Leverkusen's next match is on February 13, 2027, against RB Leipzig, currently in 4th place in the Bundesliga. Fans are eager to see how Medina will perform in the team's defense.
