Prishtina e Re Descripción general

Bayer Leverkusen have appointed a new head coach – and the name is not one that has been widely speculated upon in recent days.

Bayer Leverkusen have reportedly turned down the opportunity to appoint former Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa as their new head coach. Despite a frantic search for a new leader to replace Kasper Hjulmand, the Bundesliga side are continuing their pursuit of other candidates after deciding the Spaniard is not yet ready for the role.

Real Madrid's outgoing interim manager, Álvaro Arbeloa (43), has reportedly offered his services to Bayer Leverkusen – only to be turned down by the club.

Kennet Eichhorn is apparently willing to settle for considerably less. Nevertheless, BVB have now pulled out of the transfer negotiations. The reason? The club deemed the player's signing-on fee demands absurd.
