Jason Denayer Draws Interest from Ligue 1 and Bundesliga Clubs
Belgian international Jason Denayer is at the centre of intense transfer speculation, with several European clubs vying for his signature. The Manchester City defender, of Congolese descent, has attracted serious interest from top-flight sides in France and Germany.
Among the most keen suitors are Olympique de Marseille, who are believed to be in advanced talks to bring the 20-year-old to the Vélodrome. However, Marseille are not alone in the chase — domestic rivals Olympique Lyonnais have also entered the race for the versatile centre-back, seeking to bolster their defensive ranks ahead of the new season.
According to Belgian daily Het Laatste Nieuws, Bayer Leverkusen have now emerged as another contender for Denayer’s services. The Bundesliga outfit is reportedly monitoring the player’s situation closely, viewing him as a potential asset in both central defence and right-back positions.
Denayer, who spent last season on loan at Celtic, impressed with his composure and maturity beyond his years, earning accolades in the Scottish Premiership and further exposure with the Belgian national team.
With competition for his signature intensifying, Manchester City may soon be forced to make a decision on Denayer’s future — whether to integrate him into the first team or allow another loan or permanent move.
As it stands, the young defender’s next destination remains open, but what is certain is that his talent has not gone unnoticed across Europe.
