Bayer Leverkusen signs an international midfielder for 48 million euros, club records break.

Bayer Leverkusen has announced the signing of an international midfielder from Real Madrid for a fee of €48 million. The player, who is yet to be named, will join the Bundesliga side on a four-year contract.

The move marks a significant step forward for Bayer Leverkusen, as it sets new club records in terms of both transfer expenditure and overall spending. The previous record for a single summer transfer was set by Bayern Munich in 2017, when they spent €45 million on a defender from RB Leipzig.

With the new addition, Bayer Leverkusen now have one of the most expensive rosters in European football, with players such as Thiago Alcantara, Joshua Kimmich, and Robert Lewandowski all earning substantial salaries. This has led to criticism from some quarters, with some suggesting that the club's financial model is unsustainable and that it risks straining its finances in the long term.

Despite this, Bayer Leverkusen remains optimistic about their future prospects, and believe that the arrival of the new midfielder will help them challenge for the Bundesliga title once again. The player's name will be revealed at a press conference later today, and it is expected that he will make his debut against Eintracht Frankfurt tomorrow evening.
