Eyeing a defensive star from Argentina: Bayer 04 and Mariano Troilo?
Potential Bayer 04 reinforcement in the heart of defense?
Could Bayer 04 Leverkusen be the next destination for a rising Argentine defensive star? Reports suggest the team is considering a move for Mariano Troilo.

Leverkusen - In the market for new acquisitions, Bayer 04 appears to have set its sights on an Argentine defender.
In a nutshell
- Bayer 04 Leverkusen shows interest in Mariano Troilo
- Troilo is a center-back at CA Belgrano
- The deal might serve as a replacement for the departure of Jonathan Tah
- Estimated transfer fee is around €10 million
- Leverkusen might seek to lower the price
According to a report from "Football Europe," the Rhinelanders, under the guidance of new coach Erik ten Hag (55), could potentially be scouting the next rising talent.
Blockbuster transfer incoming? If the potential move for the 21-year-old, who recently earned a call-up to the Argentine national team, becomes reality, it certainly promises excitement.
The current club's demand for the transfer isn't cheap, with estimates placed at around €10 million. Whether Leverkusen can negotiate a lower price remains to be seen.
Central Defensive Reinforcements: The Pursuit ContinuesBayer 04 previously announced the signing of center-backs Tim Oermenn (21) and Axel Tape (17). Yet, with the likely exit of Jonathan Tah (29) for FC Bayern, more defensive depth might be necessary.
Troilo's introduction could mark a pivotal moment as the team eyes continued success and perhaps even a title run.
Negotiations Await: Will Leverkusen Break the Bank?As negotiations progress, it remains uncertain if the asking price of €10 million will stand or if Leverkusen will push for a more favorable deal. Like in many transfer negotiations, discussions will likely focus on the size of the transfer fee, possible add-ons, or payment terms, although specifics have yet to be disclosed.
