Leverkusen has just completed the procedure of recruiting midfielder Ezequiel Fernandez from Al Qadsiah. This Argentine came to Leverkusen just hours after the representative of Germany fired coach Erik Ten Hag.
According to confirmation from BLD Leverkusen, they signed a 5 -year contract with Fernandez. To get the compatriot of superstar Lionel Messi, they have to pay Al Qadsiah 30 million euros (not to mention the incurred fee). Notably, when selling Fernandez to Leverkusen, Al Qadsiah has an additional term that allows them to receive an additional 10% transfer fee if this player is traded in the future.
Notably, Fernandez is a player who is pursued by coach Ten Hag, but coming to Leverkusen, he did not have the opportunity to work with the Dutch strategist. The reason is because 5 hours before welcoming Fernandez to Bayarena, the Bundesliga champion 2023/24 cut the contract with coach Ten HAG.
This is a decision that surprised many people, because the former MU club coach has just cooperated with Leverkusen for a long time. Should know, coach Ten HAG has just signed a 2 -year contract with Leverkusen last May. He is expected to fill the void thickly by his predecessor Xabi Alonso (moved to Real Madrid) left in Leverkusen.
However, shortly after the match of Leverkusen drew Bremen 3-3 over the weekend, coach Ten HAG was resigned by Leverkusen. Thus, the coach Ten Hag only took power in Leverkusen in a match, including 2 matches in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen pushed out the road after 1 victory, 1 draw and 1 loss, he went into history as the coach who lost his job in the Bundesliga in the shortest time.
Also yesterday, Leverkusen sold the center -back Piero Hincapie to Arsenal for 52 million euros.
