Bayer Leverkusen is in concrete talks with FC Volendam from the Netherlands and Austrian club SCR Altach about a potential departure for Ken Izekor, which could be a permanent sale. The 18-year-old German-Nigerian centre-forward is the youngest professional debutant in the club's history and has a contract until 2027. The exact terms of a transfer are still under discussion, but a buyback clause is considered likely if a permanent sale occurs. Izekor has 3 goals in 9 caps for Germany's U17 team and has scored 5 goals with 1 assist in 11 appearances for Leverkusen's U19 team this season.
