Leverkusen reportedly weigh 2027 move for Gladbach teenager Wael Mohya

Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly considering a move for Borussia Mönchengladbach's 17-year-old attacking midfielder Wael Mohya ahead of the summer 2027 transfer window, according to Kicker. The report says Leverkusen's recruitment department is specifically examining a possible signing rather than routine scouting, with Mohya's technical ability, close control, movement and finishing seen as a fit for the club's attacking style.

Bayern Munich have also been monitoring Mohya. Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg reported in late October that Bayern had placed him on their shortlist, and sporting director Max Eberl publicly confirmed the club was following the teenager while saying no direct discussions had taken place with the player, his representatives or Gladbach. Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have also been linked, and no formal negotiations or offers have been reported.

Mohya is under contract with Gladbach until June 2028, and the club has opened discussions over an extension, with an improved salary and a possible release clause reportedly under consideration. Sporting director Rouven Schröder said on Sky Germany that there was strong mutual trust and that talks were continuing without pressure from either side. Sky reporting suggested Gladbach's ability to keep Mohya could depend heavily on preserving their Bundesliga status.

Mohya has two goals and one assist in nine Bundesliga matchdays this season, matching his league output from 15 appearances last campaign, and also scored in Gladbach's 5-0 DFB-Pokal win over Schott Mainz. He assisted Shuto Machino and scored in the 3-2 win over VfB Stuttgart on October 23, and has since received a first senior Germany call-up under Jürgen Klopp for Nations League fixtures against Serbia and the Netherlands.
