The ultimate aim is the conclusion in the Champions League. - Leverkusen's plan for a glorious future.
At the 350-guest celebration, Carro heated the atmosphere while simultaneously plotting his claims for the upcoming season. Bayer Leverkusen is determined to maintain their status as defending champions and elevate it with a regal statement.
The majority of the triumphant team will remain unchanged. The 21-year-old Florian Wirtz and successful coach Xabi Alonso (42), who has been with Leverkusen until at least 2025, are just two examples. Leverkusen won't have a fire sale, according to Sports Director Simon Rolfes (42).
In fact, the team plans to strengthen even further. They currently have ample depth (16 to 17 positions), aiming to bolster that number to 20. The revamped Champions League schedule necessitates eight additional international matches, presenting a heavier burden on players.
Bayer Leverkusen is actively seeking new players for every position, starting from defense. Jonathan Tah's (28) contract runs out in 2025, and clubs like Bayern and teams from England have been vying for his services. His European Champions League dream may finally come true.
If Tah decides to depart, a top replacement must be secured. Potential targets: Rafa Marin (22) from Real Madrid, Waldemar Anton (27) from Stuttgart. Tah might also choose to stay; in that case, Piero Hincapie (22) could become a candidate for auction. He's highly sought-after in the Premier League, with Chelsea and Liverpool both interested. A potential transfer could fetch upwards of 60-70 million euros.
Central midfielder Xabi Alonso requires a formidable backup to regular starter Granit Xhaka (31). Potential options: Aleix Garcia (26) from FC Girona, Daniel Kelly (18) from Glasgow Celtic who already has an offer, and Leipzig's Konrad Laimer (26).
In attack, Leverkusen needs reinforcements. Mainz's prodigy Brajan Gruda (19) is being courted, and Lionel Scaloni has expressed interest. He's known for his technical prowess, style, and dangerous finishing, making him a great candidate to pair with Wirtz. Gruda would cost around 20 million euros. If not, another choice: Antonia Nusa (19), a formation partner from Bruges, costing an extra ten million. Additionally, left winger Crysencio Summerville (22) from Leeds United is linked to Leverkusen.
As for potential exits, Leverkusen is letting Jeremie Frimpong's (23) loan spell at the club end, after which he will return to Betis Sevilla. Leih-defender Josip Stanisic (24) will also return to his parent club, Bayern, come summer. While Leverkusen won't exercise the option to buy out Simon Stanisic, moves involving him during the summer aren't entirely out of the picture.
A player who might be on his way out is Adam Hlozek (21), as he couldn't cement a spot during season two.
Staying or leaving - these changes could significantly impact next season's roster.
