Ten Hag welcomes two major new signings as Badé and Echeverri undergo medicals at Leverkusen.

The Bundesliga is known for its dominance by one club, so Ten Hag taking charge of Leverkusen could be an ideal match. Ten Hag has experience coaching Bayern Munich's second team, giving him good insight into the league. Leverkusen is working hard to reinforce the squad for Ten Hag, and now a strong defender and a creative midfielder have arrived.

According to the latest report from Italian transfer expert Romano, Sevilla’s 25-year-old French defender and Manchester City’s 19-year-old Argentine midfielder will both have medicals at Leverkusen this Wednesday (August 20). Badé will join Leverkusen from Sevilla for a transfer fee of €29 million, while Echeverri will arrive on loan from Manchester City, with Leverkusen only paying a small loan fee and no option to buy included.

Badé, aged 25, stands 1.91 meters tall and plays as a right-footed center-back. His market value is estimated at €25 million. Last season, he made 32 La Liga appearances for Sevilla, scoring once and providing one assist. Currently, he is recovering from a muscle injury.

Echeverri, who is 19 years old, is 1.70 meters tall, right-footed, and plays as an attacking midfielder. He has a market value of €18 million. Since joining Manchester City in the winter, he has only made one Premier League appearance and hasn’t been favored by Guardiola. This loan move to Leverkusen offers him a prime opportunity for development, and Ten Hag is known for nurturing young talent.

Leverkusen advanced in the German Cup with a 4-0 victory over a lower-tier team. The Bundesliga kicks off this weekend, with Leverkusen facing Hoffenheim at 21:30 Beijing time on August 23.
