Bayer Leverkusen is pushing forward with the signing of Afonso Moreira. According to exclusive information from Sky, the club is in advanced talks with Olympique Lyon regarding a permanent transfer of the 21-year-old Portuguese player. The transfer fee is expected to be around €30 million, which would represent a significant profit for Lyon, as Moreira was initially signed for just €2 million.

The negotiations are crucial for Bayer Leverkusen as the club aims to strengthen its squad for the upcoming season. Afonso Moreira could play an important role in the offensive play of the Werkself. The player has shown impressive performances at Lyon last season and is regarded as a promising talent.

As a potential successor for Moreira, Lyon has already set its sights on Julien Duranville from Borussia Dortmund. OL has agreed with BVB on a package worth €5.5 million plus €3 million in bonuses and a 20 percent sell-on clause. This indicates that Lyon is actively working on reshaping its squad while Bayer Leverkusen focuses on enhancing its own team.

The talks between Bayer Leverkusen and Olympique Lyon signal the Werkself's ambitions to remain competitive in the Bundesliga and on the European stage. A successful transfer of Afonso Moreira could significantly strengthen Leverkusen's offense and help them achieve their goals in the upcoming season.
