According to 'Sky', Hamburger SV inquired about Bayer Leverkusen's Robert Andrich a few weeks ago this summer, but the 31-year-old German defensive midfielder did not consider a transfer to HSV. Andrich does not have a significant role in Bayer's plans anymore, and the club has suggested that the 19-time Germany international, who has yet to score for his country, should look for a transfer. Furthermore, the veteran is reportedly expected to lose the captain's armband. 'Sky' indicated that central defender Edmond Taposoba will become the new captain and that striker Patrik Schick is likely to be the deputy. Andrich, who joined Leverkusen in August 2021, is under contract until 2028 and has also been associated with a potential move to Eintracht Frankfurt. In July 2026, reports cited an asking price of approximately €10 million, though a different report from that month claimed no price tag had been established. His current Transfermarkt market value is €6.00m.
