Switzerland international Marti signs
The Bayer 04 Women have announced another new signing for next season: The Switzerland international Lara Marti joins Leverkusen from FC Basel. She has signed a two-year contract.
"Lara Marti is a technically gifted player. She is very talented and capable of developing. We can use her as a defensive player on the flanks – but she also has very good quality in attack going forward," head coach Achim Feifel said about the new signing.
The 20-year-old made her professional debut for the top-flight side Basel in 2017. Last summer she received her first call up to the full Switzerland squad after having progressed through all the youth teams at national level.
Marti: "Bayer 04 offers me a great chance to develop both on and off the pitch. It's a great challenge that I'm happy to accept. I'm looking forward to a new chapter in my life and a successful time with my new club."
