When the Bundesliga has just come to an end, Leverkusen's summer is destined to be uneasy. As coach Xavi Alonso confirmed to go to Real Madrid to coach, transfer transactions of core players within the team also followed, leaving Leverkusen facing a major lineup change. However, the departure of a large number of core players has also brought rich transfer funds to the team, which gives Leverkusen enough financial resources to find strong aids in the transfer market and rebuild.
core players have left the team one after another, and the pharmaceutical factory has received huge transfer funds. First of all, the midfielder Florian Werz, the 22-year-old German talented midfielder has performed amazingly this season. He has played 45 times for Leverkusen in various competitions, contributing 16 goals and 14 assists, and is the absolute core of the team's offense. His excellent dribbling, pass and smell in front of the goal attracted the attention of many European giants.
Liverpool has launched a fierce pursuit of Wilz. Although Leverkusen's transfer fee price ranges from 130 million to 150 million euros, which is a gap with the 100 million euros plus bonus Liverpool's first offer, negotiations are still continuing, and Wilz himself is also inclined to join Liverpool. Once the deal is reached, this will undoubtedly break the record for Leverkusen's player transfer fee.
Jonathan Ta's departure also damaged Leverkusen's defense. The German centre-back has gradually grown to become the backbone of the team's defense since joining Hamburg for €9.5 million in the summer of 2015.
This season, he started 47 times as the main central defender and scored 4 goals, showing stable defensive ability and excellent heading scoring ability, and his value in German transfer has reached 30 million euros. After the contract expired, Jonatan Ta refused to renew his contract. He chose to join Bayern Munich and will receive a signing fee of 15 million euros and an annual salary of 12 million euros in the new team.
Dutch right-back Flynnon will also bid farewell to Leverkusen. In the winter window of 2021, he transferred from the Celtics for 11 million euros. He made 42 appearances in various competitions this season, contributed 5 goals and 9 assists, and had excellent offensive ability. He has become one of the top right-backs in the world football world.
Liverpool coach Slott took a fancy to Flynn Poon's strength, and the Reds decided to activate the 35 million euro termination clause in his contract, attracting him to fill the vacancy after Arnold left the team. The transfer is expected to be officially announced soon. The departure of these three core players allowed Leverkusen to gain at least 200 million euros in the transfer market. Such huge amount of funds provides strong financial support for the team's reconstruction, but also brings huge tactical adjustment problems to the new coach Ten Hach.
Tenghach faces tactical difficulties, and the target of signing gradually emerges. With Tenghach officially announces coaching Leverkusen, it is also urgent for the team to start signings around his tactical concepts. In the midfield position, due to Wilz's departure, the team urgently needed a midfield organizer with creativity and passing ability. According to German media "Kicker", Leverkusen has set his sights on Manchester City's 22-year-old midfielder McCarthy.
Mccarty has delicate skills, accurate passing and excellent organizational skills. If he can join, he is expected to shoulder the heavy responsibility of connecting the team's offense in the midfield. However, as a Premier League giant, Manchester City has always been very protective of its own players. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for Leverkusen to poach McCarthy from Guardiola.
At the winger position, Tenghach turned his attention to his two old players - Manchester United's Anthony and Garnacho. After Anthony's form rebounded significantly after loaning to Real Betis this winter transfer period, scoring 9 goals and contributing 5 assists in 26 games for Betis, regaining his former style in Ajax.
Tenhach brought Anthony from St. Paul to the team while coaching at Ajax and helped him make his mark, and later brought him to Manchester United. Now, Tenghach hopes to join hands with Anthony in Leverkusen again. However, Anthony's high transfer fees (95 million euros) during the Manchester United period and his higher salary requirements may be a barrier to transfers. If Leverkusen can reach an agreement with Manchester United on issues such as transfer fees and salary sharing, it is not impossible to introduce Anthony.
Garacho has made 58 appearances for Manchester United in various competitions this season, scoring 11 goals and contributing 10 assists, showing strong offensive potential. He is extremely fast and has superb dribbling skills, and can often create threats on the wing with his personal abilities.
However, he has had a conflict with Manchester United coach Amorin recently, which makes his future at Manchester United full of uncertainty. When Tenhach coached at Manchester United, he was very grateful to Garnacho and gave him many opportunities to play. Garnacho's relatively low German turnover price (18 million euros) and reasonable salary requirements are in line with Leverkusen's signing budget. If he can successfully join, Garnacho is expected to further grow under Tenhach's tactical system and inject vitality into the team's offense.
In addition to the above players, Leverkusen is also paying attention to Lyon midfielder Rayan Cherki. This season, Cherki made 44 appearances for Lyon in various competitions, scoring 12 goals and contributing 20 assists, and is the core figure in the team's offense.
His excellent dribbling breakthrough and passing organization skills have attracted the attention of many teams, and Manchester City has also included it on the signing list. Leverkusen had intended to introduce Cherki in January this year and they were planning to buy it again this summer. With the Lyon Club currently facing financial difficulties and Cherki's contract expires for only one year, Leverkusen has the opportunity to sign him at a relatively reasonable price. But Manchester City's competition will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of Leverkusen's signings.
Following the future, young players in the pharmaceutical factory have an opportunity
While actively seeking external signings, Leverkusen also attaches great importance to the exploration of youth training forces. U19 talented defender Natali will get valuable pre-season chances.
The young player has shown outstanding defensive talent and potential in the youth training camp. If he can seize the opportunity in the preseason, he is expected to gain a place in the first team. Previously, Leverkusen had confirmed to sign 19-year-old midfielder Maza, a move that demonstrated the team's determination to look to the future. Mazar has comprehensive skills and strong midfield control ability. His joining will inject fresh blood into the team's midfield.
For Leverkusen, this summer is full of challenges and opportunities. Although many core players have been lost, a large amount of transfer funds and potential strong aids have given the team a chance to complete a gorgeous transformation. How Tenghach makes good use of the resources in his hands and builds a new and competitive lineup system will be the key to whether Leverkusen can achieve good results in the Bundesliga and European competitions next season. Fans are also eagerly looking forward to this Bundesliga powerhouse that will shine in the new season after experiencing the ups and downs.
