Bayer Leverkusen are eyeing the potential recruitment of Fabian Hürzeler from Brighton and Hove Albion, however they acknowledge that securing the deal may prove to be a challenging task.
As per reports from SportBILD, Leverkusen are captivated by Hürzeler but are aware of the slim chances of successfully acquiring him. The club is currently in the hunt for their next manager as speculation suggests Xabi Alonso will be departing this summer, potentially to take over at Real Madrid following Carlo Ancelotti’s anticipated departure.

Despite targeting Cesc Fabregas as their top choice, Leverkusen faces tough competition for the midfielder and are exploring other options. They are looking for a coach who can motivate the team and is on the rise, with Hürzeler fitting the criteria after an impressive debut season at Brighton.

While Leverkusen are intrigued by Hürzeler, they understand the difficulty in persuading him to leave Brighton, likely due to a hefty release clause. The club remains focused on securing Fabregas but continues to keep an eye on the Brighton boss as a potential alternative.
