Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday spent some of the money from Kai Havertz’s transfer to Chelsea by signing Czech centre-forward Patrik Schick from AS Roma on a five-year contract.
After also selling striker Kevin Volland to Monaco last week, Leverkusen, who finished fifth in the Bundesliga last season, have reportedly paid 26.5 million euros ($31 million) for Schick, according to magazine Kicker.
He spent last season on loan at RB Leipzig, scoring 10 goals in 28 games.
The Czech Republic international played the second-half of their 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final of the Champions League.
