Talks are being held with the Austrian club SCR Altach about a possible departure of Ken Izekor, a German and Nigerian centre-forward, from Bayer Leverkusen. While the specific terms of the transfer are not yet determined, a buy-back clause is likely if Bayer decides to sell the 18-year-old outright. Izekor's contract with Bayer Leverkusen is valid until June 30, 2027. This season, he has scored 5 goals and provided 1 assist in 11 appearances for the U19 team, and he has 9 caps and 3 goals for the Germany U17 national team.
