Bosnian online portal Faktor – as relayed by transfermarkt.de – reports that Chelsea are in pole position to acquire Bayer Leverkusen attacking prospect Kerim Alajbegovic.
Kicker also lends credence to a report initially surfacing in Britain’s Telegraph concerning the youngster’s next possible destination. The German publication even claims the 18-year-old has already lodged a transfer request.
As noted in a recent Get German Football News piece on Alajbegovic, Leverkusen have no qualms about selling the youngster despite the fact that he was only recently re-acquired from RB Salzburg.
Matters could proceed quickly in this case.
Leverkusen originally sold the Köln-native to Red Bull Salzburg for approximately €2m in July 2025. The arrangement allowed the Bundesliga club to retain control over his future through a buyback clause. Alajbegovic subsequently enjoyed an excellent breakthrough year in Austria and represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the World Cup.
