Lennart Grill joins Brann Bergen on loan
Bayer 04 Leverkusen have loaned goalkeeper Lennart Grill to the Norwegian top-flight club Brann Bergen.
The U21 European Champion, under contract at Bayer 04 to 30 June 2024, will strengthen the 2007 champions to the end of the current season, which in Norway runs to the middle of December.
"It's important for Lennart to gain match practice as a first choice keeper," said Bayer 04 sporting director Simon Rolfes. "He can develop his game in Bergen and the experience abroad will also give him an additional stimulus."

Moreira nets brace in 7-0 win over SF Baumberg in opening friendly
Bayer 04 turned in a dominant performance in a 7-0 win against fifth-tier side Sportfreunde Baumberg in their first friendly ahead of the 2026/27 season. A brace from debutant Afonso Moreira (19', 27') either side of a Christian Kofane strike (23') put the Werkself 3-0 up in the first of the two 35-minute halves in Monheim am Rhein. After the break, Victor Boniface (49', 53'), Robert Andrich (56') and Nathan Tella (67') scored for the completely changed Leverkusen team. It was therefore a successful friendly debut for new head coach Carles Martínez and his team, although the hosts also had something to celebrate despite the defeat: the match marked the inauguration of Baumberg's new ground, the MEGA Stadion.
