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.
