Bensghir Nears Loan Exit from Bayer Leverkusen Due to Lack of Playing Time

Media sources have revealed that the agent of Moroccan international Elies Bensghir has proposed to Bayer Leverkusen management that the player depart on loan during the upcoming transfer window. This move aims to provide him with more playing opportunities and help him regain his competitive rhythm.

According to "africafoot," those close to the player believe his current situation at the German club is hindering his development, given the strong competition within the squad and the difficulty in securing regular playing minutes.

The player's statistics this season show he has participated in 16 matches across all competitions, totaling only 419 minutes, without scoring any goals or providing any assists. This reflects the challenges he has faced in fully integrating into the starting lineup.

The same source indicated that a potential return to AS Monaco was discussed during the last winter transfer window, but the player opted to remain in Germany.

Despite this situation, the player's market value remains high, estimated at approximately 20 million euros, after it had reached 30 million euros at the end of 2024, demonstrating continued significant interest in his talent across Europe.

The same website clarified that several European clubs are closely monitoring Bensghir's situation in anticipation of the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, those around the player believe a loan move might be the most suitable option to ensure his development and maintain his place in the Moroccan national team.
