Whether it is Leverkusen or Dortmund, they never like to let their players go when they peak. Dortmund had to let go Haaland, Lewandowski, Dembele, and we all know how they are doing these days. Leverkusen will have a lot of money, but money doesn't guarantee you goals. The team they had was great and now they have no other choice but to build it from scratch. It is like a little relief that they had great offers and can make a lot of money from player transfers, but they will need some luck to find those raw diamonds again. It is not easy because the scouting has never been as extensive as it is today. As soon as there is a great player, the rich clubs drive the prices up. While it sounds like a lot of money, the danger that it is wasted quicker than they wanted is real.
It is true that money does not guarantee goals, and building a great team is not easy, but that is the decision they have taken, while Bayer Leverkusen are just trying to take advantage of their opportunities to improve their financial condition.
Currently, the Bayer Leverkusen coaching chair is in the hands of Erik Ten Hag, I am quite curious who the first recruit they will bring to Leverkusen. And at the end of this season, the club that ETH used to coach, namely Manchester United, plans to sell its players. And the question is, will ETH bring in the players he once recruited for Man United and bring them to Leverkusen..?
