Amiri set to leave Leverkusen for Genoa; deal confirmed

Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Nadiem Amiri joins the Italian side of Genoa, confirmed.

The 25-year-old, who was born in Ludwigshafen to Afghan parents, has so far made five appearances for Germany since his debut in 2019.

The deal was approved by new manager Alexander Blessin.

Nadiem Amiri could be one of the first signings for Alexander Blessin as the new Genoa manager.

Genoa have an agreement in place with Bayer Leverkusen for one week – work in progress to complete the deal on personal terms too.

However, he has started only three Bundesliga games this season for Leverkusen with rising star Florian Wirtz, 18, preferred in the attacking midfield role.

Amiri won the Under-21 European championship in 2017.

Genoa are currently second from bottom in Italy’s top-flight while Leverkusen are third in the Bundesliga.

Amiri will be in Italy on Friday to undergo medical and sign his contract.
