Overview

• Bayer Leverkusen paid €10 million to sign Dutch goalkeeper Mark Flekken this week.
• Veteran Lukas Hradecky acknowledged that the new arrival threatens his status as the club’s first-choice keeper.
• The 35-year-old Finn said he could consider offers that guarantee him a starting role elsewhere.
• Hradecky also raised the possibility of a hybrid goalkeeper model sharing duties with Flekken.
• He will await discussions with new coach Erik ten Hag before finalizing his decision.
