Bayer Leverkusen showed interest in signing 18-year-old Greek midfielder Christos Mouzakitis. The club approached Olympiacos, willing to invest 12-14 million euros for Mouzakitis, whose contract with the club runs until 2029. Olympiacos demanded at least 20 million euros for 70% of the player's rights and did not negotiate for a lower fee. As Leverkusen did not raise their offer, the transfer did not proceed. The player has a market value of €12.00m, according to Transfermarkt, and has also been linked with other clubs including Benfica, Arsenal, and Milan.
