With strong interest from clubs in the Bundesliga, Jorge Salinas could take the next step in his career this summer.

According to the Spanish newspaper 'AS', both Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt are interested in the 19-year-old defender.

However, several other clubs from around Europe are said to be keeping an eye on the Racing Santander talent.

The report states that FC Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Newcastle United are also monitoring his progress.

For Leverkusen and Frankfurt, Salinas would be a promising transfer, having helped Santander to promotion in the 2025-26 season.

Typically a left-back by trade but also capable of playing as a centre half, he made 33 appearances and provided six assists.

According to the report, the Spaniard's contract includes a release clause, but the exact amount depends on various contractual factors.

It's believed the purchase clause could range from €4million up to €16 million euros for the 19-year-old prodigy.
