Bayer Leverkusen interested in signing Swiss-Angolan midfielder Johan Manzambi

Bayer Leverkusen are eyeing a move to sign Swiss youngster of Angolan descent, Johan Manzambi.

With long-term planning underway for 2026, Leverkusen have turned their attention to the SC Freiburg talent who has been one of the standout performers in the Bundesliga this season.

Reports from BILD indicate that Leverkusen are closely monitoring the 20-year-old’s development, with Italian champions Napoli also keeping tabs on the highly rated midfielder.

Manzambi has emerged as Freiburg’s breakout star, delivering four goals and four assists in 19 appearances while operating as either a central midfielder or a withdrawn striker.

For now, Leverkusen’s interest remains in the realm of speculation, as Manzambi is tied to Freiburg until 2030 and is expected to command a significant fee.

The Swiss international is widely regarded as one of the brightest young prospects in his national setup, making him an increasingly sought-after name on the transfer market.
