Bayer Leverkusen is considering 25-year-old Spanish player Miguel Gutiérrez from Napoli as a new left-back following the departure of Alex Grimaldo. Gutiérrez is one of two options being evaluated by the German club, and Napoli might allow the player to leave for a fee between €20 and €25 million. The player joined Napoli in August 2025, is under contract until 2030, and made 28 appearances in the 2025/2026 Serie A season.
