Christian Kofane was close to signing a contract extension with Bayer Leverkusen until 2031 for a planned salary of four million euros per season. 'Sport Bild' reported that Kofane has unilaterally stopped the negotiations. Kofane still wants to extend his contract, but not on the previously agreed terms. The issue is the signing fee, and it is unclear whether or how much Bayer Leverkusen is willing to pay as a signing bonus.

Kicker reports that Christian Kofane will sign a new contract imminently. The new contract is about maximising his transfer value rather than keeping him at the club long-term.

According to BILD, Bayer Leverkusen striker Christian Kofane is set to sign a new contract after rejecting Aston Villa, Everton and Newcastle this summer.

Christian Kofane, a 20-year-old centre-forward, is close to extending his contract in Leverkusen, which he joined in July 2025. A new deal until 2031 is reportedly planned. The new contract would earn the Cameroon international an annual salary of four million euros and will not include a release clause. Kofane has 6 caps and 2 goals. His current contract is until 2029, and his Transfermarkt market value is €40.00m. Several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle United, have recently been linked with the player.
