Bayer Leverkusen have announced that they have completed the signing of central defender Tim Oermann, who joins from Bochum.
Oermann joins from relegation Bochum for a fee of around €1.5-2m. The 21-year-old will sign a contract at the BayArena until 2029, however, he will spend the next year on loan at Strum Graz in the Austrian Bundesliga. The defender leaves boyhood club Bochum, where he was a regular in the squad for two seasons, making a total of 51 appearances over three seasons at the Ruhrstadion.
The Austrian Champions, who won the title on the final day, will play in the Champions League playoffs next season, meaning Oermann will experience European football next season.
This is Leverkusen’s second signing of the summer window, and it is clear in the direction they are going, after already completing the signing of Ibrahim Maza from Hertha Berlin for €12m. This is a season of upheaval at the BayArena after the confirmed departures of head coach Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid and Jonathan Tah to Bayern Munich, as well as the likely departures of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz to Liverpool.
