Bayer Leverkusen's Germany keeper Bernd Leno is targeting a transfer to a bigger club and has set his sights on joining Real Madrid.
Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno dreams of a transfer to Real Madrid as he looks to take the next step in his career.
The 25-year-old has become one of Leverkusen's undisputed star players since joining the club from Stuttgart in 2011 and he was linked with a move to the Bernabéu earlier this campaign after impressing in the Champions League.
Leno: I've supported Real since I was little
Leno has a contract with his current club until June 2020, but he has acknowledged it would be hard to turn down Real if the LaLiga champions were to approach him.
"It is now my goal to become one of the best goalkeepers around in Europe," said Leno, who is part of Joachim Löw's Germany squad for the Confederations Cup, in an interview with T-Online.
"We are regularly playing European football with Leverkusen, but it remains my dream to one day play for a major club abroad.
"And Real Madrid are the team I have supported since my childhood."
