And with seven international caps, 17 Europa League and to Champions League matches, Andrey also has international experience," declared Bayer 04 sporting director Simon Rolfes. "He will strengthen our squad with his proven quality and experience on the pitch."
The 1.93 metre tall Lunev expressed his "excitement at being able to play in such a strong league as the Bundesliga. I was very impressed that Bayer 04 showed interest in me," said Lunev.

I will do all I can to give my absolute best at Leverkusen."
