“Alberto Encinas has been on our radar for a while. He has been very successful in the youth section at Barcelona. It was his responsibility to develop young players and prepare them for more challenging tasks at Barca," said Bayer 04 sporting director Simon Rolfes. "We have high expectations of him particularly in terms of working with our young players."
The Spaniard views his move to Leverkusen as "a great opportunity to put my ideas and abilities into action at a big German club. The move abroad attracts me and Bayer 04 have again and again led young players to the top of European football for many years," said Encinas. "We want to follow that tradition and I'd like to make my contribution and be successful with Leverkusen."
