The transfer from Olympique de Marseille was completed for 25 million euros, with two million of that total contingent on the fulfillment of various sporting objectives. With this move, the former Talleres de Córdoba player brings to an end a six-season spell in French football.

In his new challenge at Bayer Leverkusen, Medina will share the locker room with two other Argentine footballers: Ezequiel “Equi” Fernández and Exequiel Palacios, although the latter remains determined to leave the club in the current transfer window.
