However, the move has been described as “difficult,” with his high salary being a potential hurdle.
Bayer Leverkusen are closely monitoring Arda Güler and could make a move for the Real Madrid youngster next summer, according to Sky Sports Deutschland.

Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are also said to be monitoring Beukema’s progress.

David is reportedly keen to move to a bigger club, but Barcelona has some reservations about his ability to perform against teams that don’t give him space.
