37.5 million deal: Bayer Leverkusen fills Grimaldo's spot with Désiré Doué's brother

Maisfutebol1 September 2026 at 21:10

Bayer Leverkusen closed a million-dollar signing to fill the spot left by Alejandro Grimaldo. The German club paid 37.5 million euros to sign Guela Doué, a full-back who was at Strasbourg.

Guela Doué is the brother of Désiré Doué, a young promise of French football who also attracts interest from major European clubs. Both brothers had stints at Strasbourg, but now follow different paths.

Strasbourg is coached by Hugo Oliveira, and lost another important player from their squad. The sale of Guela Doué represents one of the most significant transfers of the French club in this transfer window.

With the arrival of Guela Doué, Bayer Leverkusen secures a quality replacement for Grimaldo, who left the German club this season. The 37.5 million euro investment demonstrates the German team's confidence in the player's potential.

However, the black-and-white club makes considerations about the high salary and the signing bonus demanded by the 30-year-old athlete, in addition to concerns about his physical condition, since Cebolinha underwent surgery in 2024 and hasn't shown expressive numbers recently.
