"Alejo Sarco is a pledge to the future of Bayer 04 Leverkusen," said sporting managing director Simon Rolfes. "He is a technically gifted player, fast, agile and assertive in challenges. With his strength in finishing he fulfils the profile of a modern centre-forward. Alejo has a promising career ahead of him."
For the young Argentinian, the move to the German double winners means "joining a top club in Europe. That's something I've dreamt of," said the 1.79 metre tall left footer. "Bayer 04 have been interested in me for a long time and I followed the club's great season last term very closely indeed. It's exciting for me to be part of this team in the future and a great challenge to add to the strength of the team with my ability."
For the second time in four days, Bayer 04 face Borussia Dortmund this Tuesday evening, 2 December (kick-off: 21:00 CET) - this time in the round of 16 of the DFB Pokal, with more than 7,000 fans supporting the Werkself at Signal Iduna Park. After the recent 2-1 defeat to BVB in the league, several cup stats provide hope of revenge for the Black and Reds. There are several reasons why Bayer 04 recommends getting to the round of 16 clash early, in which VAR will be in use, unlike in the previous rounds.
