Patrik Schick: Bayer 04 Leverkusen Contract Extension
Patrik Schick is considering a contract extension with Bayer Leverkusen. He is currently in negotiations with the club for a new contract. Schick mentioned that if former coach Xabi Alonso had stayed, further discussions would have been necessary to make a decision. The new coach, Erik ten Hag, definitely plans to include him in the team, which has led Schick to refrain from considering a transfer this summer. He acknowledged interest from other clubs but chose not to elaborate on it.
Patrik Schick had considered leaving Bayer 04 Leverkusen because of uncertainties regarding his role under the former coach, Xabi Alonso. However, with the appointment of the new coach, Erik ten Hag, who intends to utilize both Schick and Boniface together, the club is eager to extend Schick's contract beyond 2027. The club's managing director, Simon Rolfes, highlighted Schick's significance to the team and conveyed the club's intention for him to remain for a longer period. Despite the club's standard policy of 'extend or sell' two years before a contract ends, selling Schick is not seen as an option due to his recent impressive performances and the club's recent player departures. Schick is now regarded as an essential component of the team's future strategy.
Erik ten Hag, the new coach of Bayer Leverkusen, wants to convince Schick to stay at the club, seeing it as a new beginning. There is a possibility of contract renewal with Bayer Leverkusen if he decides not to leave.
Patrik Schick remains the number one striker at Bayer Leverkusen. The new coach, Erik ten Hag, has imposed a transfer ban on him, which has been communicated to the player's agent. Schick previously expressed dissatisfaction with the competition for the main striker position under former coach Xabi Alonso. Currently, Transfermarkt estimates his market worth at 27.00 million euros.
