The Jamaica winger is considered to be one of the most promising young talents in Europe at the moment.
However, his progress has come to a sudden halt this season, with the winger only making eight starts for German side Leverkusen.
Leverkusen have recently parted ways with Heiko Herrlich and Peter Bosz has replaced him, with Bailey's agent pleased about the replacement.
"I am very happy that this change has come about," Craig Butler, Bailey's agent, and step-father said to Football.London.
"Leon did not develop much under Heiko Herrlich. For Leon, it is very important he enjoys his football, he lives alone in Germany, the family are all in Jamaica, and if Leon does not have fun, it kills him.
"Top clubs have come forward, Real (Madrid) and Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Roma, and in recent months they have been surprised that Leon plays so seldom, wondering why a top league player like him is suddenly starting on the bench."
