German Goalkeeper Janis Blaswich Joins Bayer Leverkusen on Two-Year Deal
Janis Blaswich has officially transferred from RB Leipzig to Bayer Leverkusen on a two-year contract until 2027, with a fee of €2 million upfront and potential bonuses worth an additional €1 million. The deal was announced on August 11, 2025, marking a significant change in Leverkusen's goalkeeping department.
The 34-year-old goalkeeper will serve as the backup goalkeeper behind newly signed first-choice keeper Mark Flekken, who joined Leverkusen from English club FC Brentford this summer. This signing is part of Leverkusen's overhaul of their goalkeeping department, following the departures of longtime captain Lukas Hradecky and young keeper Matej Kovar.
Lukas Hradecky, who had been the club captain and starting goalkeeper for seven Bundesliga seasons, completed a €3 million transfer to AS Monaco on August 8, 2025. Blaswich expressed his respect for Hradecky as a club legend and expressed his excitement to play for "the most prestigious club in my home region."
With Hradecky's departure, Blaswich is expected to take on the role of backup goalkeeper at Leverkusen. Last season, Blaswich played on loan for RB Salzburg in Austria. He is set to undergo a mandatory medical check on Friday before officially joining the Werkself.
Meanwhile, Lukas Hradecky is now expected to serve as the backup after the arrival of Mark Flekken at Leverkusen. The transfer fees from Hradecky's move to AS Monaco are said to bring in at least three million euros for Bayer Leverkusen.
The transfer of Blaswich to Leverkusen is a done deal, according to Sky, and the Dutch national Flekken is the new signing at the German club. AS Monaco, a French club, is now set to welcome Hradecky as their new goalkeeper.
In summary, the transfer of Janis Blaswich from RB Leipzig to Bayer Leverkusen and the departure of Lukas Hradecky to AS Monaco have marked a significant restructuring of the goalkeeper lineup for the 2025 season at both clubs.
European leagues will now feature Janis Blaswich, as he joins Bayer Leverkusen, following his transfer from RB Leipzig. The backup goalkeeper will likely support the newly signed first-choice keeper Mark Flekken, who recently joined Leverkusen from English club FC Brentford.
