Leverkusen sign Greek teenage star Retsos to 2022


BERLIN (Reuters) - Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen said on Thursday it signed teenage defender Panagiotis Retsos from Greek champions Olympiakos on a five-year deal worth a reported 22 million euros.

Retsos headed coach Heiko Herrlich's wish list as the German club seeks a return to the Bundesliga elite after a disappointing 2016/17 season that saw them finish 12th and miss out on European football.
