Stay chic! Leverkusen plans to extend the contract until 2027
Bayer 04 Leverkusen is pushing ahead with its plans for the future and is focusing on a very special player: Patrik Schick. The Czech international striker confirmed at the training camp in Brazil that negotiations over a contract extension are already underway. “At the moment we are definitely talking about extending the contract,” said Schick, pointing out that a little more time would be needed to sort everything out League Insider reported.
Those responsible at Leverkusen agree: Schick is an important building block for the club. Sports director Simon Rolfes emphasized that one could imagine that the striker will stay longer than 2027. “He is a world-class center forward and a leader,” Rolfes praises the goal-hungry attacker, who scored 24 goals in 27 games last Bundesliga season, making him the most successful foreign goalscorer in Bundesliga history in one season. This is based on information from Bundesliga.com out.
Statistics and achievements
Schick's efficiency as a penalty area striker is particularly noteworthy. In the 2024/25 season he recorded a total of 21 goals with an xG value of 8.65, which underlines his class. Under new coach Erik ten Hag, the striker enjoys the full trust of the coaching bench. In contrast, his performance in the Champions League fell short of expectations: there he only scored one goal with an xG of 2.13.
Bayer Leverkusen's ambitions are clear: they want to play at the top with players like Patrik Schick not only in the Bundesliga, but also in the Champions League. Schick himself feels comfortable in Leverkusen and sees great potential in the team. “Reaching the Champions League is my motivation,” reveals the 27-year-old, who has scored 17 goals in 33 international matches for the Czech Republic Bundesliga.com.
Future prospects
With the early contract extension until June 30, 2027, which is now official, the Leverkusen team is underlining their ambitions and at the same time showing their appreciation for Schick. Rudi Völler, who campaigned for the striker's signing two years ago, supports the extension and highlights the club's long-term goals. Schick is not only a key player for the current season, but also for the coming years as far as the future of Bayer 04 Leverkusen is concerned.
