The German club Bayer Leverkusen has placed young player Elias Ben Sir at the top of its priorities to strengthen the wing position before the closure of the current summer transfer market, according to reliable journalist Florian Plettenberg via his official account on the platform X.

Ben Sir, who is 20 years old, is considered one of the most prominent rising talents in Europe, having caught attention with Monaco due to his outstanding performance, prompting Leverkusen to act decisively to sign him in the final days of the transfer window.

Plettenberg confirmed that discussions between Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco are still ongoing in an attempt to reach a final agreement regarding the deal, which is expected to exceed 30 million euros.

Leverkusen's management is keen to finalize the deal quickly, given the club's desire to enhance its attacking options before the start of the new season, especially after the successes achieved by the team.
