Bayer Leverkusen Signs Belgium International Midfielder for €48M Transfer Fee, Setting Club Record

Bayer Leverkusen have signed Belgian international midfielder Jannick Schick on a new four-year deal.

The 25-year-old has been with the club since 2017 and has made 66 appearances in all competitions this season.

Schick is one of the most versatile players at the club and has played in all three positions - goalkeeper, central defender and left back.

He joined Leverkusen from Belgian club Genk in 2017 after impressing for their youth team.

The fee for Schick is set to be around €48 million.

The signing of Schick comes just months before Leverkusen's European campaign starts, as they face off against French side Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Europa League on April 9th.

The club has been working hard to strengthen its squad ahead of the tournament and Schick will add another important piece of the puzzle to the team.

Schick is a talented player who has shown his ability to score goals and provide assists for his teammates throughout his career.

He has also won several awards during his time at Leverkusen, including the Golden Glove award in the 2018-2019 season.

Overall, Leverkusen has invested heavily in strengthening its squad ahead of the European competition and Schick's arrival is a testament to that investment.

Leverkusen has already had some success in recent seasons, winning the Europa League in 2019 and reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2020. The signing of Schick is a major step forward for the club and should help them continue their successful run in Europe.
