Bayer Leverkusen is facing a possible transfer of Ernest Poku. AC Florenz is interested in the young Dutchman and could sign him for 25 million euros. The loss of Poku would cost Bayer Leverkusen a valuable player. However, the club is not yet at the end of its transfer work, as squad planner Simon Rolfes is still planning further transfers. Ernest Poku was trained in the youth academy of AZ Alkmaar, among others, where he also made his breakthrough. He is still under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2030 and has scored five goals in 21 international matches for the Netherlands U21 national team. Bayer Leverkusen has scored 68 goals and conceded 47 in the current season, resulting in a positive balance of +21 goals. The club is currently in 6th place in the Bundesliga, 30 points behind leaders Bayern München. The next match is on February 20, 2027, against FSV Mainz 05.
