18-year-old Argentine striker Alejo Sarco will join Bayer 04 Leverkusen for free at year-end as his Velez Sarsfield contract expires. Known for his speed and scoring, Sarco chose Leverkusen over other clubs. Velez criticized him for not renewing and relegated him to their U19s, rejecting a low six-figure offer from Leverkusen. Sarco's contract will run from January 1, 2025, to 2029. Holding an Italian passport, he can play in Germany's A-Junioren-Bundesliga West.

Bayer Leverkusen is on the verge of signing Alejo Sarco from Argentina. Sarco is currently under contract with Velez Sarsfield until December 31, 2024. The transfer is expected to be finalized in the winter transfer window.

Leverkusen is interested in signing Alejo Sarco, an 18-year-old forward from Argentina. Sarco has refused to extend his contract with Velez Sarsfield, which ends on December 31, 2024. The player, his family, and his agent have expressed their unwillingness to continue at Velez Sarsfield, and the club has removed him from the professional team. There is an offer from a European club, which Velez Sarsfield found unacceptable. Sarco could join Leverkusen either this summer for a transfer fee or in the winter when he would be available on a free transfer.
