Bayer Leverkusen's Progress with Contract Extensions and New Signings
Bayer Leverkusen is gearing up for the upcoming season with contract extensions and new signings. The extension of veteran players Fernando Carro (62) until 2029 and Simon Rolfes (44) until 2031 sends a clear message to the competition: sixth place in the last season was not Bayer's goal!
Medina Joins for €20 Million
The first of the top stars to arrive is Facundo Medina (27). reports, Medina will undergo his medical check-up on Monday and sign a contract until 2031. The former World Vice-Champion joins Bayer from Olympique Marseille for an undisclosed fee. Medina is a valuable asset as a left-footed central defender, known for his fighting spirit and quality in build-up play. He made his debut with a performance against FC Sevilla.
Patience Needed for Diaby
More patience is required for Moussa Diaby (27), who will not be joining the team before the England test matches. The Frenchman needs to agree on terms with his current club Al-Ittihad, whose contract runs until 2029. reports, Bayer and Diaby are already in agreement on a return for him, with his contract set to run until 2031 - as long as Rolfes' does.
Bayer Leverkusen is preparing for the DFB-Pokal start in August against third-tier side SV Wehen Wiesbaden, with Medina and other top players expected to feature.
