BERLIN:

Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday announced the signing of Morocco international Eliesse Ben Seghir from Monaco in what could potentially be a club record deal.

Ben Seghir, 20, arrives for a reported fee of 32 million euros ($37 million) plus five million in bonuses in a deal running to 2030.

Leverkusen's club record transfer purchase is 35 million euros, shared between United States winger Malik Tillman and English defender Jarell Quansah, both of whom arrived this summer.

Unbeaten league and cup winners in 2023-24, Leverkusen are undergoing a major rebuild this summer, with Florian Wirtz, Granit Xhaka, Jonathan Tah, Lukas Hradecky, Jeremie Frimpong and Amine Adli among those to have left the club.
