Fans of the Werkself can now regularly access exclusive content on their favourite club in Black and Red on the platform under the handle @bayer04. This includes spectacular images from the BayArena and of Bayer 04 players as you've never seen them before.
The TikTok platform is a popular video portal and now one of the strongest growing social media platforms worldwide. "We have consciously added TikTok to our platforms to appeal to a new and young target group at home and abroad with creative content and to attract their enthusiasm for us," explained Holger Tromp, communications director at Bayer 04. The club is happy to make use of the high entertainment factor of the platform and its popularity with a very young target audience without ignoring the provision of information.

After six and a half years, Exequiel Palacios is leaving the Bundesliga and moving from Bayer 04 to the Premier League. The Argentine, who as a Werkself player won the World Cup with his national team four years ago and finished as runners-up at this summer’s tournament, will play for newly promoted English side Ipswich Town with immediate effect. The 27-year-old, whose contract in Leverkusen was due to run until 30 June 2030, joined Bayer 04 in January 2020 as a promising young talent.
