Bayer Leverkusen has bolstered its midfield with the signing of 23-year-old Ezequiel Fernández from Saudi club Al-Qadsiah. The Argentine international has put pen to paper on a long-term contract, keeping him at the club until June 30, 2030.
Fernández, who is known for his left foot, joined Al-Qadsiah from his parent club Boca Juniors last summer. He made a significant impact during his short stint in Saudi Arabia, playing four games for the team at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and scoring a goal.
Leverkusen will pay approximately 30 million euros, including bonuses, to secure the services of the midfielder. Al-Qadsiah has also secured a 10-15% sell-on clause for Fernández, ensuring a potential return on their investment.
The signing of Fernández is a strategic move by Leverkusen, who are looking to replace Granit Xhaka, who is set to depart for AFC Sunderland. Fernández, who expresses a desire to advance his career in Europe with an internationally respected club, is expected to bring "a lot" with his "power and aggressive style of play," according to sporting director Simon Rolfes.
Fernández, who is an Argentine U23 international, will wear the number 6 jersey for Bayer Leverkusen. He is described as "very reliable and strong" by Rolfes, qualities that are sure to serve him well in the demanding Bundesliga.
The career of this promising midfielder in Europe is set to begin with Leverkusen, a club that is known for nurturing young talent and providing a platform for them to shine. Fernández joins a talented squad that is aiming to challenge for honours in the upcoming season.
The signing of Ezequiel Fernández is a significant boost for Bayer Leverkusen as they look to build for the future. With his impressive performances in Saudi Arabia and his potential to excel in Europe, Fernández is a player to watch out for in the coming seasons.
Bayer Leverkusen announced the signing of Fernández, with the club's fans eagerly awaiting his debut in the Bundesliga. The exact date of his professional debut in the league remains unknown, but one thing is certain - Ezequiel Fernández is set to make a mark in German football.
