“Image”: Atalanta Wants To Hold Bayer Loan Kossounou-Leverkusen Waves Transfer Profit

Was operated on in January

Odilon Kossounou for Europa League winner Atalanta BC has been on 17 games since he moved from Bayer 04 Leverkusen to Bergamo at the end of August. The 24 -year -old central defender was not able to conquer a regular place due to injury, as a result of an operation on the adductors, he has been canceled since mid -January. Nevertheless, the Italians, who have a high purchase option, seem to be obliged to further hire Kossounou – this is what the “picture” reports.

The clause is 25 million euros, Atalanta has only invested more in the club history in one player. If you take the rental fee of 5 million euros, the Ivorian international would replace the El Bilal Touré (23) currently awarded to Stuttgart as a record access. The striker cost La Dea 29.1 million euros in the summer of 2023. In Italy, however, it is said that the sum is too high in view of the injury problems. Possible that Atalanta wants to renegotiate. Bayer meanwhile took up at least 25 million euros for one player six times.

At a glance: Atalantas the most expensive access / Bayers most expensive departures

Bayer would be the Kossounous exit for high transfer. After his 23 million euro transfer from Club Brügge 2021, he showed strong performance, especially in the first half of the master’s sessions, but the Werkelf would help the rumored million sum with the targeted upheaval. On a list of potential entrances and departures published on Wednesday, KossoUU was not mentioned at all, but with Jonathan Burkardt (24, Mainz) or Ibrahim Maza (19, Hertha), there are costly professionals in which there is interest (for the article).

Market value update series A: Minus for Kossounou?

Kossounou is contractually bound to Bayer until 2026 – the coming summer would also be the best opportunity to transfer. A year later, the defensive man would be free of charge without an extension. The Africa champion from 2024 scored a goal and three templates for Bayer to date. Its market value is 30 million euros, but could fall in the series A-update on Tuesday.
