Bayer close deal with Straßburg for Guela Doué

Bayer Leverkusen are on the verge of signing Guela Doué, the Ivory Coast right-back, after reaching an agreement with Racing Straßburg over the transfer fee, as kicker reports.

The outlet says the clubs have already found common ground on the transfer amount, moving the deal into its final stretch.

Final steps for the right-back

With the inter-club agreement in place, the next step is the medical. As kicker adds, Doué will travel to Leverkusen on Monday to undergo his medical examination—typically the last routine checkpoint before the contract is officially signed.

Sporting-wise, the signing fits the need to strengthen a key spot in the right-back role, and it also brings an international player to the squad.

For now, the only remaining item is the final paper details (such as contract length), which usually follows right after the medical. Bayer, therefore, are very close to getting the deal wrapped up.
