Sebastian Szymanski, originally from Dinamo Moskova, has drawn interest from Leverkusen due to his performances with the Polish national team despite not meeting expectations at Fenerbahçe. The club is open to offers to create budget space for new players like De Bruyne and Talisca. The management expects offers of at least 15 million Euros for him.

In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen, who ended Bayern Munich's 11-year reign, and Napoli, who became the champion of Italy last season but caused a big disappointment this season, have set their sights on a star footballer.
