Two reliable football transfer expert -s Rudy Galetti and Sacha Tavolieri - claim that Bayer 04 Leverkusen are intensifying their interest in Portuguese center back Diogo Leite of 1. FC Union Berlin. Despite not having played a particularly great season for the relegation-threatened Eisernen, Leite maintains an estimated market worth of €15 million in the latest tansfermarkt listings.

The heavily capped Portuguese youth international has accrued more starts (30) than any other FCU defender this year. Since joining Union in the summer of 2022, Leite has made 58 Bundesliga appearances and accrued plenty off international experience in the Europa and Champions' League. He's netted once for the Köpenick club in the Pokal.
