Chilean midfielder Charles Aranguiz has snubbed a move to the Premier League by choosing instead to join German side Bayer Leverkusen from Brazil’s Internacional. The central midfielder has joined for a transfer fee of around €12 million, putting pen to paper on a five-year deal.
He will get his first taste of Champions League football with the Bundesliga side, rather than a Premier giant, as it was earlier imagined. The signing was confirmed by Leverkusen’s official Twitter account, with Aranguiz photographed holding the club shirt with his name on it.
There he is: Charles #Aránguiz!
