Bayer Leverkusen have emerged as front-runners to sign Malang Sarr from OGC Nice, according to Fussballtransfers.

The 21-year-old, who has previously been linked with Borussia Mönchengladbach, RB Leipzig and Wolfsburg, have also attracted interest from Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04, as per the report.

But apparently, Leverkusen is currently the most likely destination for Sarr, who will be available on a free transfer this summer.

The higly-rated centre-back has made a total of 119 appearances for Nice with three goals and three assists to his name.
