Bayer Leverkusen’s second-choice goalkeeper Matej Kovar can leave the club in summer, Kölner Stadt Anzeiger reports.
Since his arrival from Manchester United in 2023, Kovar has failed to oust first-choice Lukas Hradecky from the goal.
The Czechia international did enjoy spells between the sticks in last year’s Europa League run and this season's Champions League campaign.
However, the 24-year-old does not seem to be part of Leverkusen’s long-term plans.
A host of potential replacements have been listed including Man City’s backup Stefan Ortega, SC Freiburg’s Noah Atubolu and Alex Meret of Napoli.
Several rumours have also linked Die Werkself to promising Spanish shot-stopper Joan Garcia who is currently at RCD Espanyol.
