Reports today confirm that the transfer of Miguel Gutierrez to Leverkusen has reached a breakthrough stage after Napoli gave the green light to the move and reached an agreement with the interested team. While personal terms and contract length are yet to be agreed - it is looking increasingly likely that the Leverkusen are about to get one of their top transfer targets signed and sealed. Negotiations are still active, and with no other teams linked, Leverkusen appear to have a clear path to completing the deal. With only 29 goals conceded in 23 (1.26 per game), Leverkusen have been one of the stronger defences in the Bundesliga this season.. Miguel Gutierrez would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Napoli have recently been linked with Federico Gatti, Jean-Clair Todibo and Benoit Badiashile while Leverkusen have had no rumoured targets. Want more transfer rumours like this?
