The Bayer Leverkusen, led by Xabi Alonso, is seriously considering the addition of Mario Hermoso in this winter transfer window. The Spanish coach is looking to strengthen his central defense with an experienced player to face the second half of the season, where the team aims to stay in the Bundesliga title battle against Bayern Munich and make a strong run in the UEFA Champions League.

Hermoso, 29, joined Roma last summer as a free agent after his contract with Atlético de Madrid expired. Despite high expectations upon his arrival at the Italian team, he has not enjoyed the anticipated prominence, accumulating just 622 minutes in 13 matches. This lack of playing time has caught the attention of the German club, which sees him as a reliable option with potential to strengthen their squad.

Leverkusen wants to sign a new center-back

Xabi Alonso considers Hermoso a key piece due to his experience in high-level competitions and versatility, qualities that fit perfectly into the defensive scheme he aims to implement. While the main interest lies with the Spanish player, Leverkusen also sees Mika Faye, a Senegalese center-back from Rennes, as an alternative in case negotiations with Roma do not progress.

Leverkusen's intention is to finalize Hermoso's arrival through a loan, allowing the player to regain minutes in a competitive environment and the club to strengthen without immediately impacting its budget. With the winter transfer window closing soon, the defender's future could be defined shortly as the German team endeavors to complete the deal to continue competing at the highest level.
