Bayer Leverkusen have signed Portuguese winger Afonso Moreira from Olympique Lyon, adding the 21-year-old to their Bundesliga squad ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Bundesliga.com reported that Moreira has agreed a contract at the BayArena through June 30, 2031. The league site listed the move as confirmed by Leverkusen and described Moreira as a winger arriving from Lyon.

The transfer also gives Moreira a defined landing spot after his time with Olympique Lyon. The verified terms are simple: player, club, source club and contract end date. Anything beyond that, including fee structure or immediate role, has not been reported in the checked source material.
Leverkusen's next checkpoint will be how Moreira fits into preseason and the club's wide attacking options. For now, the completed news is a long-term Bundesliga move for a 21-year-old Portuguese winger.
