Overview
- The transfer was confirmed Thursday after Moreira arrived in Germany, passed a medical and signed a deal running until June 30, 2031.
- Lyon reported the fee as €29.5 million with up to €4.1 million in add-ons and a 10% share of any future profit, while some reports put the sum at about €32 million.
- Incoming head coach Carles Martínez personally pushed for the signing and convinced Moreira to join before he officially takes charge on July 1.
- Moreira is a 21-year-old Portugal U21 winger who broke through at Lyon last season with 37 appearances, eight goals and 11 assists and is valued for his pace, dribbling and finishing.
- The deal gives Lyon a large resale gain after buying Moreira for roughly €2 million in 2025 and leaves Sporting, his training club, with a reported share of future proceeds while strengthening Leverkusen’s attacking depth.
