– Sources have told that both clubs see Bravo as a prospect for the future and will not rush him, thus allowing him to go step-by-step and play for the reserves at first before joining up with the first team.
– Madrid are confident Bravo will choose them ahead of Atletico, although the player’s entourage appreciate the effort made by Atletico after the club increased their offer for the striker.
– Whatever the outcome, all parties expect the deal to be finalised in the coming days.
– A Barcelona youth product, Bravo joined Leverkusen as a free agent in July 2021.
– He became Leverkusen’s second-youngest debutant in the Bundesliga at 16 years and 298 days of age in a 1-1 draw with Hertha Berlin last year.
