Bayer Leverkusen sign goalkeeper Mark Flekken from Brentford
Bayer Leverkusen have completed the signing of goalkeeper Mark Flekken from Brentford. The Athletic reported at the beginning of June Leverkusen were close to signing Flekken in a deal worth around €10million (£8.4m; $11.3m). Brentford had rejected an earlier bid of €9m for the Netherlands international. Advertisement Flekken, 31, joins the Bundesliga club on a three-year deal through to 2028. Separately, Brentford are set to replace Flekken with Caoimhin Kelleher after having an offer worth £18million ($24.2m) accepted by Liverpool for the Republic of Ireland international. Flekken joined Brentford in May 2023 and he succeeded Arsenal-bound David Raya as Thomas Frank's No. 1. He made 74 Premier League appearances for the club, keeping 14 clean sheets. The move sees the him return to Germany, where he has spent the majority of his club career across spells with Freiburg, Duisburg, Greuther Furth and Alemannia Aachen. Lukas Hradecky has been Leverkusen's first-choice goalkeeper since joining the club in 2018, but he was rotated with Matej Kovar at times last season, with the latter starting the majority of Leverkusen's Champions League fixtures. Leverkusen appointed former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag as their new head coach in May, succeeding Xabi Alonso following his move to Real Madrid. ()
