Filipe Luís has emerged as Leverkusen's leading contender to replace Kasper Hjulmand as head coach.

According to Sky Deutschland, the club have identified the 40-year-old former Brazil international as their preferred choice, and negotiations are under way.

Hjulmand remains under contract until 2027, and Leverkusen reportedly plan to confirm his departure only once a deal with a successor is finalised.

Luís guided Flamengo to a league title and the Copa Libertadores before being dismissed in March.

Alternative candidates are being considered, though Luís is viewed as the priority for now.
