Kerim Alajbegović is expected to return to Bayer Leverkusen from RB Salzburg in the summer, a move that is considered almost certain. The club has reportedly identified the 18-year-old winger as its first reinforcement for the next season. According to 'Sport Bild', Leverkusen intends to use the upcoming international break to advance its squad planning. The transfer will be made possible by a buy-back option set between five and six million euros, an increase from the two million euros Salzburg paid to acquire him from Leverkusen's U19 team last July.

'Sport Bild' suggests a loan to another Bundesliga club or a team in another top league is a possibility, should the four-time Bosnian international fail to secure an immediate breakthrough upon his return.
