Bayer Leverkusen have completed the signing of Rennes forward Martin Terrier in a deal worth around €20million.
The French forward has put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the reigning Bundesliga champions.
Terrier is Xabi Alonso’s third signing ahead of the 2024-25 season, joining Jeanuel Belocian and Aleix Garcia at BayArena.
The 27-year-old scored 42 goals across his last three seasons with Rennes, despite missing nine months of action with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
