The German vice champion Bayer Leverkusen is apparently faced with goalkeeper Mark Flekken.
As the TV broadcaster “Sky” reports, the Rhinelanders and the former Freiburg goalkeeper agreed on a contract until 2028. A transfer fee between 10 and 14 million euros is under discussion.
Flekken, who played eight caps for the Netherlands, has a contract at FC Brentford in the English Premier League until summer 2027.
The 1.94 meter tall goalkeeper has had a strong playing time and is about to move to Leverkusen before jumping into the Champions League.
In the goalkeeper position there is a need for Bayer. Captain Lukas Hradecky has been 35 years old and will soon be replaced.
The attempt to build Matej Kovar as a successor apparently did not succeed in the satisfaction of the Bayer bosses. Kovar is to be resumed if flekken is committed.
