Bayer Leverkusen appears to be in the lead to sign Arnaud Kalimuendo, the 23-year-old forward who has recently made a significant impact by scoring 17 goals in Ligue 1 for Rennes. After Xabi Alonso's move to Real Madrid and Erik ten Hag's arrival, the team is undergoing changes. Kalimuendo's determination, which often creates challenges for opponents, is highly appreciated as the team anticipates possible departures of important players like Florian Wirtz and Victor Boniface. Although Leverkusen is currently ahead, Juventus is also showing interest in Kalimuendo, having previously tried to acquire him last winter. At that time, Randal Kolo Muani joined Juventus on loan instead. Rennes is expected to ask for at least 30 million euros for Kalimuendo's transfer.
