The German club Bayer Leverkusen announced on its official website the signing of young Cameroonian striker Christian Covani, coming from Albacete in Spain, with a contract that extends until June 2029.

Simon Rolfes, the sporting director of Leverkusen, praised the deal, saying: "Christian is a strong and fast striker, with technical skills and great ability to impose himself, and he will contribute to adding more diversity to our playing style, and he has great potential to become an important part of the team in the coming years."

For his part, Covani expressed his happiness, saying: "It is incredible to play for a club that participates in the Champions League after a short time in Europe, I will do my best to achieve success in the Bundesliga."
