Bayer Leverkusen pursues Guela Doue in record transfer deal

Bayer Leverkusen is finalizing a deal to sign Guela Doue from RC Strasbourg. Reports indicate the Bundesliga club agreed to a €38 million fee for the 23-year-old right-back. The transfer remains subject to a medical examination before the contract is officially signed. If completed, the move will mark the most expensive signing in the club's history, surpassing the €35 million spent on Malik Tillman last year. The addition of the Ivory Coast international follows the return of Moussa Diaby to the squad. Bayer Leverkusen has increased its transfer spending to nearly €100 million this summer as preparations continue for the upcoming campaign.
