Sport Bild studies that Bayer Leverkusen are nearing the completion of their first signing of the winter switch window and can present much-needed depth to the squad.

Vélez Sarsfield striker Alejo Sarco is to affix the membership on a free switch upon the expiry of his contract. on the finish of this month. The 18-year-old has performed 9 video games for the senior aspect within the Argentine first division this season. Leverkusen had tried to signal Sarco in the summertime however Vélez Sarsfield blocked the transfer, a lot to the dismay of Sarco. This resulted within the 18-year-old being banned from the primary workforce as he refused to increase his contract on the membership. 

Sarco is ready to offer much-needed depth to the Leverkusen placing choices and with Victor Boniface and Patrik Schick each out injured, Sarco could possibly be given an opportunity a lot sooner than anticipated. 

The Argentine is probably going not going to be the one signing that Leverkusen make within the winter. Rayan Cherki is an choice for Leverkusen as they search for a backup and alternative choice for Florian Wirtz, in case he leaves the membership in the summertime. Nevertheless, a transfer for Cherki would take up Leverkusen’s complete price range for the winter.
