Bayer Leverkusen is on the verge of announcing the transfer of Argentine World Cup finalist Facundo Medina. The 27-year-old defender completed his medical check with the Werkself and is only missing the signature under a contract that will run until 2031. Bayer 04 Leverkusen will pay around 20 million euros in transfer fees to Olympique Marseille. Possible bonus payments will also be added.
