Agency Report –
Dusseldorf – Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly set to let goalkeeper Matej Kovar go in summer and have started looking for a new man alongside Lukas Hradecky.
Daily Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger said that Kovar can leave two years after arriving from Manchester United despite a contract until 2027.
Kovar played 30 matches, mainly in cup competitions including the Champions League, but never fully managed to be on par with Hradecky.
“It is part of our job and especially that of the scouting department to be prepared for all scenarios in all positions. That also applies to the goalkeeper position,” Leverkusen managing director for sport Simon Rolfes said.
Candidates are said to include Manchester City’s Stefan Ortega, Noah Atubolu of Freiburg and Napoli’s Alex Meret.
