New £20m Leverkusen update sees Crysencio Summerville take big step towards Leeds exit
Fabrizio Romano has dropped a new update on the future of French ace Martin Terrier who is closing in on a move to German champions Bayer Leverkusen, and it has ramifications for Leeds United.
Two years ago, Leeds were actually linked with a move for Rennes star Terrier. But a move didn’t happen, despite Jesse Marsch spending plenty of cash that summer after selling Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha.
Fast forward two years, and Terrier is set for a big move. After four years at Glen Kamara’s new club, and 75 goals and assists in 141 Rennes appearances, Terrier is set to leave and join Xabi Alonso’s champions.
Widely-respected journalist Romano says Terrier is closing in on a move to Bayer Leverkusen for £20m, with a medical expected today. It sees the 27-year-old leave French football for the first time in his career.
Why Martin Terrier move could impact Leeds United this summer
Rennes are incredibly active this summer. After a slightly disappointing 11th-placed finish last term, they are looking to make waves in the window in a bid to strengthen a push for European football next term.
They have sold Enzo Le Fee to Roma, Terrier is set for Leverkusen and Desire Doue is said to be a target for PSG. Kamara has been signed as a replacement for Le Fee, and they will splash their incoming cash.
Rennes are targeting a move for Summerville this summer, with the news emerging of their interest in the midst of Kamara’s move to France. It was believed that Doue’s potential exit would see Rennes move.
