Bayer get their Brazilian

Bayer Leverkusen have signing 20-year-old midfielder Renato Soares de Oliveira Augusto from Brazilian outfit Flamengo.

Leverkusen had been searching for a new midfielder in Brazil for several weeks and they are happy with their capture, even if he was harder to sign than expected.

"They were very difficult and complex negotiations with Flamengo and a lot of praise goes to our general manager Michael Reschke who was able to conclude the transfer," said Bayer business manager Wolfgang Holzhauser on the club's website.

Renato Augusto has signed a five-year deal with the Bundesliga side, joining for an undisclosed fee, and will join his new team-mates next week.

He becomes the first Brazilian at the club since Roque Junior left in 2006.
