Bayer is likely to land one of the greatest talented defenders in Europe with Odilon Kossounou – he is said to come from Bruges for around 25 million euros.
Bayer Leverkusen is about to sign central defender Odilon Kossounou from Club Bruges. This is reported by several media such as The last news, kicker or the picture consistent.
Accordingly, it is only about details, with the 20-year-old Ivorian then going to sign a five-year contract with the Werkself. The fee is probably around 25 million euros.
Kossounou would be one of Leverkusen’s most expensive players
“We will definitely sign a good player for the defense,” said Leverkusen’s sports director Rudi Völler, who announced the upcoming transfer on Tuesday.
This would make Kossounou one of the most expensive players in Leverkusen’s history. The record is still held by Kerem Demirbay (32 million euros from Hoffenheim), followed by Patrik Schick (26.5 million euros) and Lucas Alario (24 million euros).
