“We are happy to have signed another top talent in Madi Monamay. He was the target of lots of top European clubs,” said Simon Rolfes, currently the sporting director and from 1 July the sporting managing director at Bayer 04. “He impressed at a high level last season as a 15-year-old in the Youth League and he gained his first experience of senior football with the Genk U21 team.”

Thomas Eichin, head of the Performance Centre at the Werkself, on the Belgium U16 international: “He’s a very intelligent central defender and is already very mature and calm on the pitch for his young age. He will be a great addition to the squad, particularly in that position.”

As usual, the transfer has been completed with due regard to the FIFA transfer regulations and is subject to FIFA’s final approval.
