Bayer 04 sign Emiliano Buendia on loan from Aston Villa

Bayer 04 have reacted to the long-term injury to Martin Terrier by signing Emiliano Buendia on loan from Aston Villa. The deal for the 28-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder runs until the end of the current season on 30 June 2025.
Buendia

Emiliano Buendia is a good, technically versatile player who plays in a passionate and assertive way. He’s played more than 100 games in the demanding Premier League and brings a lot of experience to help us immediately in achieving our goals,” said managing director for sport Simon Rolfes.

Buendia is looking forward to a busy second half of the season at the BayArena. “The Bundesliga is very appealing to me. Bayer Leverkusen are the defending champions and in my view one of the best and most interesting teams in Europe,” the 1.72-metre-tall attacker said. “I’ve obviously seen Leverkusen’s performances in the Champions League in recent months and also their Europa League games last season. It’s a great team that plays attractive football. I’m sure I can help contribute to the club’s success.”
