Kerim Alajbegovic, an 18-year-old winger from Bayer Leverkusen, has become one of the standout names in the summer transfer market. Chelsea is currently the front-runner to secure his signing in a deal worth around 30 million euros, although several Serie A teams are also closely monitoring his situation. 

The international player from Bosnia returned to Bayer Leverkusen this summer after the German club exercised the buyback clause agreed upon with Red Bull Salzburg. However, his future is once again in doubt just a few months after signing a contract until 2031. 

Alajbegovic sparks interest from Chelsea and Serie A clubs

Alajbegovic's growth during the last season hasn't gone unnoticed. The forward scored 13 goals in 44 matches with Red Bull Salzburg and established himself as one of the rising stars in Austrian football before returning to Bayer Leverkusen.

His performance also continued with Bosnia, where he shone during the 2026 World Cup. The winger stood out for his ability to create chances and for becoming one of the youngest players to score from outside the box in the tournament's history.

In this scenario, Chelsea has taken the lead. The London club is considering presenting an offer close to 30 million euros, a sum that could convince Bayer Leverkusen to part ways with the player despite having recently brought him back. 

Bayer Leverkusen evaluates Alajbegovic's future

Alajbegovic's return to Bayer Leverkusen was initially aimed at integrating him into the first-team squad. The German club exercised a buyback clause after monitoring his progress in Austria and signed him to a five-season contract until June 2031.

However, stiff competition in the attacking department and the opportunity to generate a significant profit have opened the door to a potential transfer. The sports management is listening to offers from the market while the player continues to attract interest from top European leagues. 

Bosnia boosts Alajbegovic's valuation

International exposure has also increased Alajbegovic's value. The forward has already featured for the senior national team of Bosnia, a progression that has intensified the interest of clubs like Atalanta, Napoli, and Juventus, all keeping a close eye on any movements from Bayer Leverkusen. 

Despite this competition, Chelsea is currently leading the race. The next step will depend on whether the English club makes a formal offer for the speculated 30 million euros and on the final decision of Bayer Leverkusen, who must choose between further developing Alajbegovic or capitalizing on the strong interest surrounding the young promise from Bosnia.
