Bayer Leverkusen star reveals why he has rejected Liverpool’s offer

Bayer Leverkusen star Leon Bailey has been one of the most wanted players this summer. Several Premier League giants including Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have shown their interest for 21-year-old youngster. Bailey reveals that there was a wave of interest, however, he decided to stay in Bundesliga. "Manchester United, City, Chelsea, Liverpool - a lot of clubs were interested." Bailey told Four Four Two (via LiverpoolECHO). "But the most important thing as a pro is taking things a step at a time and not rushing to the top too quickly. Because once you get there, where do you go next? "I believe the right timing is important, and it was the right moment to be at Bayer Leverkusen. They are a tremendous club with so much history. "A lot of good players have come from there; they can get into the Champions League and are always doing well. So why not them? "It was the perfect move for me and I’m happy I made it. My focus isn’t really on moving anywhere yet. "I’m just about what’s happening right now rather than what could happen in the future. I’m still learning." he added. Bailey has extended his contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2023.
