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: Bayer 04 ‘a good place to grow as a player and as a person’
A new team, a new environment, a new challenge—and yet one thing remains the same for Afonso Moreira: his attitude. Total dedication, discipline, and the drive to improve every day have defined the Portuguese player since his early days at Sporting CP. “Even back then, I realized I had to work hard to achieve my goals,” said the 21-year-old. His parents also instilled those values in him from a young age. Values that have driven him ever since, accompanied him to France when he signed for Lyon, and now also form the foundation for his new chapter at Bayer 04. At a media session, the lightning-fast winger spoke about his values, as well as his new teammates, the new coach, and his targets at the club.
