Report: Leverkusen defender set for move to Italy

Italian transfer market insider Gianluca Di Marzio claims Bayer Leverkusen's Panagiotis Retsos is on the verge of joining Hellas Verona.
Bayer Leverkusen's Panagiotis Retsos is set for a move to Italy, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

Per the Italian transfer market insider, the 23-year-old is on the verge of joining Hellas Verona.

Retsos is out of contract in the summer, so selling him this month is Leverkusen's last chance to cash in on him.

'Die Werkself' paid a whopping €17.5 million to sign Retsons from Olympiacos in 2017, but the defender never made his breakthrough at BayArena.

In total, he has featured just 42 times, racking up a goal and three assists.
