“I experienced great things at this club and made lots of friends – Bayer 04 was like a family for me,” said Wendell. “But after such a long time it is important for me as a person and as a player to take on a new challenge. Leverkusen will always be very important to me and I wish the club all the best from the bottom of my heart.”
Sporting director Simon Rolfes played alongside the South American for Bayer 04. “Wendell developed from a reserved young lad onto an established professional player with us and he always passionately identified with Bayer 04,” according to Rolfes. “He made his mark here and he will always be welcome to come back in the future.”
The last home game of the season for the Bayer 04 Women against RB Leipzig on Saturday (12:00 CEST) will be a special experience for fans. As part of the family matchday, Bayer 04 are offering fans a wide-ranging programme of events in and around the Ulrich Haberland Stadium similar to the game against Werder Bremen. This will include three special prizes for supporters to win.
