"We signed Amine Adli in 2021 as a big talent from the second division in France. As hoped and expected by us, he has now developed into a top player in the Bundesliga," said Bayer 04 sporting managing director Simon Rolfes in assessing the progress of the 1.78 metre tall striker. "Amine has a great influence on our game but he has also made a significant contribution to the success of Bayer 04 as an important factor within the dressing room. We are happy that we can build on his sporting and personal qualities in future."
The tricky, agile and fast left footer showed himself to be happy with the extension of his contract at Leverkusen: "It's a great pleasure for me to be able to carry on the path I've taken at Bayer 04," said Adli. "We have a special team spirit in the dressing room, on the pitch and with our fans. My expectations have been more than fulfilled and I'll give my all for us to achieve great things in the future and be able to win titles. I'm proud of wearing the club jersey."
Adli signed for Bayer 04 from the French second division club FC Toulouse two and a half years ago. Since then he has played 126 games the Werkself scoring 21 goals and providing 22 assists.
