Simon Rolfes on whether he has already written off the Bundesliga title: "No, I'm not writing anything off, because you can never write anything off in football. Of course we have a [7] point gap, but the season is still long. It's important for us to get into this rhythm to show our quality

Alejo Sarco will join Bayer Leverkusen on a free transfer from Vélez Sarsfield in January. Even though the 18-year-old is still eligible to play for the U19, he's supposed to be a part of the first team and give Xabi Alonso a third option at striker.

Following the signing of Alejo Sarco, Bayer Leverkusen could also bring in new players in other positions in January instead of doing that business next summer. Lyon's Rayan Cherki is one of the candidates. He'd cost around €10m-15m, which is roughly the club's budget this winter.

Despite his good form, it is not unlikely that Patrik Schick will be on the bench against Bayern today. This is because Xabi Alonso has preferred to play without a true striker against top-clubs multiple times in the past, but also due to the fact that the Czech is just not used

Enzo Millot's €20m release clause, which is really cheap in the eyes of many European clubs, is not active until the summer of 2025. Therefore, it might make some sense, if his departure is inevitable, for him to leave in January.

Rayan Cherki, whose club Olympique Lyon is in dire need of sales, as well as Stuttgart's Enzo Millot, who has a €20m release clause, are two of the candidates.

Florian Wirtz will most likely not join Bayern next summer. Given the strength of his relationship with Xabi Alonso and how good his form has been under him, the smart money might be on them taking their next steps together.

Bayer Leverkusen have no intention of selling Jeremie Frimpong in January - it would take an offer too good to refuse for that to change. When the Dutchman eventually leaves, Leverkusen will not sign a replacement as Arthur is already at the club.
