"CONFIRMED: Even though Bayer Leverkusen have not received any concrete offer they have received signals that NEOM SC are interested in Granit Xhaka. Should a lucrative offer be made there is much to suggest that the 32-year-old will leave. At the end of the season he hinted that he would seriously consider a move if to Saudi. The 15m-20m fee that Bayer would demand would not be an obstacle for NEOM nor would a handsome net salary for Xhaka possibly in the double-digit millions. B04 will not try to keep Xhaka at all costs - he'd only stay if he is XXX% committed. @NocksVon @kicker"

The club is negotiating with PSV for Tillman and with Liverpool for Quansah, with a buy-back clause proposed in the Quansah deal.

That's my goal for the next six months and I'm going to work hard to achieve it. The start of preparation is very important to me. I want to present myself in the best possible light. In my first six months in Leverkusen it was all about settling in and adapting to German football life in Europe a new language and a different culture. Now I'm really keen to develop my football skills and I'm very much looking forward to my second"

"Erik ten Hag on what system best fits his football as he has relied on a four-back formation in the past: "The system is only a status when the game starts and the players are on a piece of paper. But once the ball is in motion everything changes. Of course it's about the spacing when in possession and about being compact when defending and having internalized processes to put pressure on the opponent. You need a basic formation of course and we will have that. It's important to consider which players are available which qualities we can utilize and also what the DNA of the club is."

"CONFIRMED: Even though Bayer Leverkusen have not received any concrete offer they have received signals that NEOM SC are interested in Granit Xhaka. Should a lucrative offer be made there is much to suggest that the 32-year-old will leave. At the end of the season he hinted that he would seriously consider a move if to Saudi. The 15m-20m fee that Bayer would demand would not be an obstacle for NEOM nor would a handsome net salary for Xhaka possibly in the double-digit millions. B04 will not try to keep Xhaka at all costs - he'd only stay if he is XXX% committed. @NocksVon @kicker"
