Bayer Leverkusen are being linked with a move for Trabzonspor right-back Wagner Pina, with the Bundesliga champions monitoring the €8.00m-rated defender ahead of the summer window.
The 23-year-old, who holds both Cape Verdean and Portuguese nationality, is attracting interest after his emergence in the Turkish Süper Lig with Trabzonspor, where he wears the number 20 shirt. Transfermarkt lists his market value at €8.00m, which is likely to form the benchmark for any negotiations between the clubs.
Pina’s current contract situation at Trabzonspor is unclear, with no public expiry date recorded, which has fuelled speculation that he could become available at a reduced fee or even approach free-agent status in the medium term if no extension is agreed. The probability of a move is currently listed as “?” on 27 April 2026, underlining that talks – if any – remain at an early and speculative stage.
Born in Lisbon on 3 November 2002, the 1.80m defender is predominantly a right-back and operates on his favoured right foot. His performances for Trabzonspor in the Süper Lig have highlighted his capacity to contribute in both defensive and transitional phases, making him a stylistic fit for the high-intensity, attack-minded approach favoured in the Bundesliga.
Recent appearances for Trabzonspor in the Turkish top flight have added to his growing reputation, with his form this season helping to sustain interest from clubs on the continent. Although specific details of individual matches are not yet widely documented, his regular involvement has underpinned his current valuation and prompted Leverkusen’s scouting focus.
With Leverkusen continually reshaping their squad for domestic and European campaigns, a move to Germany would represent a significant step in Pina’s career, offering the chance to enhance his profile, test himself at a higher level and potentially establish himself as a leading full-back in one of Europe’s top leagues if the transfer materialises.
