La Liga
Spanish center Mario Hermoso embarks on a new adventure in his career after a brief stint with AS Roma. The 29-year-old defender will join Bayer Leverkusen on loan until the end of the season, meeting a specific request from coach Xabi Alonso who is looking to strengthen the defense for the crucial phase of the season.
Hermoso arrived in the Italian capital last September as a free agent after leaving Atletico Madrid, but his experience in Serie A has been marked by the team's instability. In just five months, Roma has changed coaches three times, preventing the Madrid-born center from having the desired continuity. Despite playing 13 matches and scoring a goal in the Europa League against Braga, he was not in the plans of Claudio Ranieri, the current coach of the Roman team.
Xabi Alonso's Explicit Request for Bayer
Bayer Leverkusen, currently second in the Bundesliga, six points behind Bayern Munich, has opted to incorporate the former Atletico player to strengthen their squad at a critical moment. Additionally, the German team is qualified for the next phase of the Champions League and could directly reach the round of 16 with a victory in their upcoming match.
As reported by MundoDeportivo, Mario Hermoso will travel to Germany in the next few hours to undergo medical examinations and sign his contract with the team led by Xabi Alonso, who has insisted on his arrival to provide defensive solidity to his ambitious project.
