Mbamba loaned to Fortuna Düsseldorf

Defensive midfielder Noah Mbamba has joined Fortuna Düsseldorf from Bayer 04 Leverkusen with immediate effect. The German champions and DFB Cup winners are sending the Belgian U21 international out on a one-year loan to the second division club, who narrowly missed out on promotion to the Bundesliga last season in the relegation play-offs against VfL Bochum.

"Noah has come on very well with us over the past year and a half," declared Bayer 04 sporting managing director Simon Rolfes. "We have great confidence in him and are convinced he'll play an important role in the Bayer 04 squad in the future. In Düsseldorf, however, he currently has a better chance of more game time, which he needs for his further footballing development."

The 19-year-old Mbamba joined Bayer 04 from Club Brügge  in early 2023. His contract with the German double winners runs until 30 June 2028.
