Up for the corner, and Aleix García delivers — 7.63

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Aleix García scored, was marked 7.63, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Bayer Leverkusen

Leroy Sané was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match19 Sep 2026

Bayer Leverkusen find a way past Union Berlin

Union Berlin made Bayer Leverkusen work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Leroy Sané takes the honours

Marked 7.82 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Bayer Leverkusen had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Robert Wolff: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The form table has caught Jonas Hofmann

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Market21 Sep 2026

The Aleix García talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Bayer Leverkusen know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Robert Andrich does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Loïc Badé was immovable

11 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

$22.4M settles it between the clubs for Leroy Sané

Galatasaray have accepted the money. What Bayer Leverkusen do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market10 Aug 2026

Nathan Tella has said yes to VfL Wolfsburg

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Bayer Leverkusen have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Bayer Leverkusen bid $16.4M for Serge Gnabry

The offer went to Bayern Munich this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Bayer Leverkusen rebuffed over Robin Roefs

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sunderland have kept their man, and Bayer Leverkusen go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market10 Aug 2026

SC Freiburg come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Bayer Leverkusen did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Loïc Badé signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Loïc Badé and Bayer Leverkusen agree another 5 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Bayer Leverkusen

Patrik Schick and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Klaus Schubert joins the Bayer Leverkusen first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Klaus Schubert is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Bayer Leverkusen promote Andreas Winter from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Andreas Winter has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Real Sociedad tell Bayer Leverkusen: Takefusa Kubo is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Bayer Leverkusen make their move for Leroy Sané

$20.9M on the table at Galatasaray. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market3 Aug 2026

Aleix García raises the bar for Bayer Leverkusen

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Bayer Leverkusen heard it as anything else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Bayer Leverkusen

Patrik Schick and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Lucas Vázquez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Lucas Vázquez and Bayer Leverkusen agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Bayer Leverkusen

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Miguel Gutiérrez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Bayer Leverkusen are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Loïc Badé asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market3 Aug 2026

The Moussa Diaby talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Bayer Leverkusen know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
