Afonso Moreira to Undergo Medical with Bayer Leverkusen
Olympique Lyonnais' 21-year-old forward Afonso Moreira is scheduled to undergo a medical examination with Bayer Leverkusen, according to reports. This follows an agreement between the two clubs on a transfer fee exceeding €32 million, which includes bonuses. Moreira is expected to sign a five-year contract with the German club.
Afonso Moreira, the 21-year-old player for Olympique Lyonnais, is reportedly set to undergo a medical prior to his signing with Bayer Leverkusen. This development comes after several days of negotiations, culminating in an agreement between the management of both clubs.
The transfer fee for Moreira is reported to be over €32 million, a figure that includes various bonuses. Additionally, a percentage of any future capital gain from the player's potential resale is also said to be part of the deal.
While Moreira had initially expressed a desire to remain with Lyon for another season, he has ultimately agreed to the move to Germany. This decision was influenced by the French club's reported need for cash. Upon completing his transfer, Moreira is expected to sign a five-year contract with Bayer Leverkusen and receive a pay increase.
For Olympique Lyonnais, the sale of Moreira represents a significant financial gain. The club acquired him last summer from Sporting CP for €2 million. During his tenure in France, the Portuguese player made 37 appearances across all competitions, scoring eight goals and providing 11 assists.
According to Yahoo Sports Soccer, L'Équipe initially reported on Moreira's impending medical.
