After the messed up first half of the season, a lot will happen at Bayer Leverkusen in the winter. At least three players should or can go in this context.

The Werkself want to strengthen the flanks in particular during the winter break: According to Sky, Bayer 04 are in pole position in the race for Robin Gosens. The national player should cost between 15 and 17 million euros and fix the permanent problem zone on the left side.

For the other winger, Leverkusen have targeted Vladimir Coufal from West Ham United. The Czech has fallen into second place at the Hammers, which is why a change in winter is described as "absolutely possible".

Of course, the possible arrival of the full-back duo also has an impact on other Bayer players: According to Sky, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Daley Sinkgraven can leave in winter. The two Dutchmen are not very popular with Xabi Alonso and have only played 114 (Fosu-Mensah) and 174 (Sinkgraven) minutes this season. Sinkgraven has even mentioned Twente Enschede as a potential customer.

In addition to the two, there are other farewell candidates: Paulinho, who will not extend his expiring contract, will leave the club in the summer at the latest. Maybe something is happening here during the winter break. According to Sky, Charles Aranguiz can also change. The Chilean is extremely injury-prone and is only under contract until the end of the season. With a new midfielder to be signed in winter, Aranguiz and Bayer 04 could go their separate ways after seven and a half years.
