The departure of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid left a significant void at the club. In a bid to steady the ship, the board appointed Erik ten Hag, but the Dutchman was dismissed after just three matches following a poor run of results.

Ejuke on Leverkusen's Radar
Bayer Leverkusen have identified Super Eagles winger Chidera Ejuke as a potential summer target.

Ejuke is currently valued at €4 million by Transfermarkt. With only one year remaining on his contract, Sevilla are expected to demand a relatively affordable transfer fee.
The Spanish club are believed to be open to negotiations should a suitable offer arrive.
The 28-year-old joined Sevilla from CSKA Moscow in 2024 after spending loan spells with Hertha Berlin and Royal Antwerp between 2022 and 2024.
Since arriving in Spain, Ejuke has registered three goals and two assists in 54 appearances for the La Liga side.
During the 2025/26 campaign, the winger managed one goal and one assist in 29 matches, while continuing to showcase his pace and dribbling ability.
Ejuke also made four appearances at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations under Eric Chelle, where Nigeria finished third, per Sofascore.
