Leno is said to have a release contract in his contract that means he can join Atletico Madrid for around €20 million. At the Wanda Metropolitano, he could replace Jan Oblak who has been linked with clubs such as Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
The 26-year-old has previously made it clear that he will only move abroad if he is sure to be the first-choice keeper.
"If I move abroad, it will not be to challenge for the number one spot, but to be a clear number one," Leno has said according to Bild.
As mentioned, Leverkusen have already identified Leno's replacement – Lukas Hradecky. According to Bild, the Finnish goalkeeper will join from Eintracht Frankfurt on a free transfer when his contract expires this summer.
