According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly considering a move for Victor Lindelof, the 31-year-old centre-back currently a free agent.

The German club value his experience and leadership qualities, which would add depth to their defensive line. Lindelof is well known to former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, which could influence his next career step.

The defender's familiarity with top-flight football and tactical discipline makes him an attractive target for Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen are also progressing towards completing the signing of Loic Bade, reinforcing their squad further ahead of the new season.

The club's dual focus on strengthening their defence highlights their ambition to compete strongly in both domestic and European competitions this term.
