In light of their previous struggles, Bayern Leverkusen manages to leave a lasting impression once again.
Bayer Leverkusen Secures Top Scorer Patrik Schick until 2030
Patrik Schick has extended his contract with Bayer Leverkusen, committing to the German Bundesliga club until June 2030 [1][2][3]. The prolific striker, who was the club's top scorer in the 2021-2022 season with 21 goals, has now signed a long-term deal, securing his future at the club.
Schick's impressive performance last season, where he was the Bundesliga's leading marksman from open play with 20 goals, has earned him a place as a key player in the team's plans for the future [2][3]. The 29-year-old has scored 81 goals in 168 appearances since joining Leverkusen in 2020 from Roma (via RB Leipzig) [2][3].
Simon Rolfes, the sporting director of Bayer Leverkusen, emphasized that Schick's extension not only secures a top striker but a leadership figure critical to the team's ambitions to compete for titles domestically and in Europe [2][3]. Schick himself expressed confidence in Leverkusen's future, reiterating his desire to contribute goals and to play a key role in building a new, trophy-winning team [1][2][3].
The extension comes at a time of significant restructuring for Bayer Leverkusen, following the departures of several key players such as Granit Xhaka, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Jonathan Tah, as well as coach Xabi Alonso [1][2][3]. New head coach Erik ten Hag now faces the challenge of rebuilding the squad, with Schick a central figure in this project.
Alongside Schick, Leverkusen has acquired players such as Malik Tillman, Jarell Quansah, and goalkeeper Mark Flekken, signaling a focused effort to rebuild a competitive squad [1].
A short video summarizing Schick's commitment and his importance to Leverkusen is available, visually highlighting his goal-scoring prowess and leadership role [5].

The extension of Schick's contract until 2030 underscores optimism about maintaining Bayer Leverkusen's prominent Bundesliga and European presence, with Schick positioned as a cornerstone for this next chapter [1][2][3].
